i agree with most of what u & Prospekt say in both ur latest posts...

however, if during this evaluation economics prove up well & SC is a financial go.....building the infrastructure & mine will not get any cheaper by Teck delaying. there's a need to lock in the cheapest cost/lb they can get. ($1.15/lb or less based on enhanced recovery sounds pretty good to me).

Contractors & Equipment suppliers will be "licking their chops" & increasing prices into any Metals market recovery imho.
