RE: SST operating costsYoyo,MontyHigh, Thank You for the efforts to clarify costs. Yes costs are not fixed here,and could change at any time for many reasons and metal prices also are rapidly changing,that is mining . I believe we just started another leg in yet lower metal prices, what impact that has here and elsewhere is really difficult to determine in an exact manner, such is investing. Because the trend IMO is still lower for metal prices,I for one would not further invest in any basemetal "related" play at this time. I will point out though that there is far more at play in today's markets than just costs of production and sales prices of metals,hopefully CS and other mines/Co. that are feeding SST's streams have made the correct moves financially to carry forth business so those streams do not disappear.
CS/SWC made some prudent moves by hedging some metal production at much higher levels, that is a plus for CS. The newest revenue stream for SST having the Gold content may be a game saver or even game breakout going forward, a very good move by SST IMO. Lundin does not impress me, and the other project Aqueline is a non factor at this time IMO.
Many moving parts here to evaluate, and re-evaluate,definitely not a clear cut or concise manner to do so, no matter what your position is here.
