There is no way they'll flip it. This mine is theirs and Trafigura's for the next six years. The whole purpose of Kapulo is to produce for Trafigura. It's basically written in the books. $1.92/lb production cost, sell it in low $2s to Trafigura. We get a small portion of earnings (to keep the shareholders somewhat happy) and Trafigura sells it for God knows how much. If Cu hits $3s or even $4s in the future, Trafigura will be laughing with $1-2/lb of profit. And $1.92/lb production cost might be lowered with Galena's technical team stepping in. That could mean more money for us if the price per tonne is fixed for Trafigura or more money for Trafigura if it's percentage based. In the end, no one knows for how much Trafigura will be buying from MWE, so whatever I wrote here, take it as an idea and not a fact. I'm just trying to be realistic here even thought I want the best for us and not them.
