I see where you're coming from. Sell this asset at a profit, but on the cheap. Then acquire yet another "fire sale" and make it sound incredibly enticing because the copper can be produced at an eye-popping -32 cents per pound due to credits from the other metals. 

That won't turn out to be even close to reality, but there must be another group of suckers willing to throw money at it. I know this much: I WILL NOT BE ONE OF THEM!!!
