A recent survey of analysts polled by Reuters shows that Zinc will be one of the top performer commodity in 2016 due to an estimated global deficit of 53,000 tonnes in 2016 and 275,000 in 2016.

So which is it? 53 K tonnes or 275 k tonnes?

The reduction in supply could cause prices to spike in 2016, said the International Copper Study Group who revised down copper production forecasts in October 2015, and said that there will be 130,000 million tonnes deficit in 2016.

Are they really saying there is going to be a deficit of 130 Billion tonnes in 2016? As far as I know the global yearly market for copper is 22 M tonnes. That would be quite the uptick in demand...

Who writes this stuff, did the fire all the editors?

Two words... Short covering.

I wonder who owns the remaining 14.5% of the Liard shares? Did they say what they paid for the 140K shares?

I like this article a little better. The author thinks copper will either sink to $2 at which point it could technically go to $1.25 but I am not sure how this could be possible. Or copper goes back to $2.20 and signals an end to all this madness and the upside correction starts.

This article is dated for Nov 18th 2015. One from the past... one from the future.

The only problem with the article is that it is from Mar 5 2015. Things have deteriorated since then.
