FNI on care and Maitenence as well but in considerably better cash position.
Their deal with Xstrata also skims their pt/ pd credits and they pay a premium for processing because their ore is shipped directly and not concentrated...
I suggest a better deal is with FNI and that FNI ship it's ore to LBE mill for concentration...
FNI has almost as much cash as ISM.

A deal with FNI could benifit both companies and maybe get all 3 mines back in production.
