RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:$4 lb CopperChintzy,
I misunderstood what you were saying. I was surprised First Quantum picked up an option for Pebble. They may have thought it could be possible to extract moderate grades with a smaller mine, leaving low grades behind. Everyone who touches Pebble loses money. $600 million down the drain for Anglo American. Other partners have incurred serious losses. The fact that First Quantum would even consider sticking a toe into such perilous waters, where so many others have perished, tells us good copper projects have become exceedingly rare.
