RE:Will 2020 see copper move........?Yup great points.
On the overall copper market side, we've seen recent strong US jobs data and China factory numbers which points to growth picking up again if that continues then the price should pick up significantly considering how weak the supply side is. And smelter demand is already hinting to that(

Obviously global trade will play a huge part and there seems to be a lot of optimism about at least a phase 1 deal which is a good sign but can't be taken too seriously until pen actually meets paper with the amount of flip flopping going on between a deal is imminent and there may be no deal altogether,
In terms of OCO, waiting is tough but once we get registration out of the way (hopefully next couple weeks before christmas shutdown or in jan) we need to get drills in the ground to reconfirm the core area and see how much deeper mineralization goes, raise some money and then do some more expoloration drilling to test the underexplored areas. If all that goes well, and we're in a rising copper price market, we might not be around long enough to do a pre-feas but one step at a time :)
