RE:RE:tranche b is 9 million....High volumes and higher sp; but price of copper has dropped?? It does seem that commodities are getting a bit of a boost lately with the dropping U.S. dollar....this may be the cause. Perhaps one of the big player is taking a long view and getting in while sp is cheap. Another thought is I thought negotiations between Amerigo and Codelco were going to be concluding around now; perhaps there may be an announcement coming that is favourable to Amerigo. Time will tell.
