You're right George. Add to that the positives of lower fuel prices too. Granted the metals prices are down, albeit precious metals, but copper is our game and PM's are strictly a byproduct of our mining for Cu. Price depreciation can be overcome with PRODUCTION increases. Remember also, Elmer has stated that the deeper they mine the better the metal %'s are. How about adding in all that "WASTE" ? This project was justified using numbers that were rock bottom to get their BFS. And what? It was done based on only 15% of the property????????? This is a mining DISTRICT, remember. Over the years I have been on this forum there is plenty of documentation to back up what I am saying. Sure, we are anxiously awaiting news, but its Tecks' show now, and in due time they will hopefully decide to mine this property. Open Pit too. Thats more economical to mine the metal. Its all pointing to nothing but positives. The problem is waiting. IMHO the wait will be worth it ! Best to all in the New Year, koala
