Sounds like bare bones mining with consolidation of the infrastructure. ..your on your game Wanderer5..Local Gossip is of closeing Low grade mines, and mining the Creighton deep complex. I hear rumours of closeing the Copper Cliff Smelter ( emission control problems ) and purchasing the smelter from Xstrata. Xstrata has low ni reserves and seem to be after the copper. I heard Vale has alot of new shinny rail cars, so they might ship some ore to the Atlantic province. Liberty, may have to take into consideration, who may own the Falconbridge Smelter. I guess one advantage Liberty has, our partners have a Smelter, nice move Gary....Traps7
