2. The on average lower grades that are available for mining.
i have seen this commet before.. what i found speculative is the old Anaconda Mine across the street from NCU.. there is a MOA that was either signed on Jan 18-2021 or another documents in the wings to be signed fisrt quarter.. ???
that AC mine is completiing its remedial action - installation/infrastructure. in reviewing the tasking preport.. apparently, that mine is designated as operational.. it went bankrumpt but never lost its permit to mine copper on that site...
go down to about pg 70 and look at that green ring of fire' surronnding that 800 foot lake..

to the rite of that between the two highways is NCU... 320 Million Tons of Cu++ was hauled out of thaat mine.. MOST of it remains on site according to one report...
and so mabey the plot thickens !!
