COPPER XXX Copper xxx has a copper mine.
They have an extraction recovery of - 93% ( flotation circuts )
Each raw tonne of ore has a recovery of 93% copper + 7% waste.
Tack on each processed tonne thereafter - it wil lalways be a concentrate ratio of,
93% copper with 7% waste.
Copper xxx just signed a forward contract for 25% concentrate.
Does this make sense ?
Or is Copper xxx pumping out a real - 93% copper concentrate?
All of Copper xxx's peers - have high recovery rates when extracting thier own copper.
Yet.. .each of them state they only produce a 21% - 28% concentrate.
Why are the majority of - copper concentrate contracts - nondisclosed ?
Riddle me this.
There....
said my peace.
I like segragating the mineral credits of one mine without confusing the profits of an additonal - gold credit - from another nearby mine that copper xxx owns and wishes to augment the overall mineral profits.
For a stock to see maximum valuation - the stock has to see maximum recoveries.
Not... 25% cons which reduces the profits and valuation of the, stock.
Does anything think a miner who can recover 93% copper will want ot sell a 25% con ?
or.. more like - 93% con ?
Not revealing the contractual price per copper con tonne - inhibits the stock valuation.
Simply research each copper miner in B.C.
look at thier flotation recovery rates, then refer to what they proclaim in produced concentrates.
The numbers are at opposite spectrums.
Cheers....
