I did hear some noise about this a week ago. But didn't look into it too much. It was over 4$ a share last time trump ran. I would assume its a trump play since he didn't get to approve the pebble mine last time. I have never been a huge fan of mining stocks, they seem to take forever to get approvals. Takes a long time to build a mine, etc. Thats all long before ever turning a profit. By that time the metal price can drop.
