RE:RE:RE:Hey FOGhead, are you bothering these people I believed that WRN investors would understand and appreciate the high premium that intracontinental (read NAFTA) copper reserves will enjoy when a disaster strikes either major copper mining region. This isn’t wishing ill on others ‘cuz my wishes don’t count, but my views did make me a skunk at Ivanhoe’s party.
I recently saw a headline of a new assessment that a major disaster is likely is occur within the next three years. It was a report by a group of scientists. I’m sorry now I didn’t’ read it to understand their reasoning, but skipped on because it really wasn’t news. The Andes is getting walloped right now with this El Nino winter/spring, but that will then flip to La Nina and threaten southern Africa, northern Australia with floods and typhoon. When you think about it, Freeport’s infrastructure in high relief terrain and vulnerable port facility isn’t totally immune from a super storm either.
The truth is that Canadian and Nordic mining operations are not immune, although their greatest threat from wildfire will not have as large or wide a sociopolitical impact, as with the threat of civil discord in those mining regions at lower latitudes. The attitude of some who believe the threat of climate change will just go way if you ignore it long enough, do so at their own peril.
