"I'm still thinking that over $7 is right but would be happy with less considering the EU and all that garbage. I'd still want some residual value in the co. "
I believe the $7 for CUU is a reasonable number given what management have found and done. My revised NPV based on 150 K operation, $3.00 a lb copper, production cost of negative $0.74, and a discount rate of 8% shows the NPV for SC to be $5.6. Just throw in a dollar or two for the rest and $7 is pretty reasonable:
