How would Braveheart compare with a peer boasting - 100 million tonnes @ 0.25% copper ?
Braveheart has a good 2.6 million tonnes of Copper Eq -2.4% grade with a cut off - 1%
Hidtorical - tech reports - only speaking of copper - run the resource size as high as
5 - 8 million tonnes.
Let's crunch some numbers - How many 0.3% tonnes would equate to 1 tonne of bravehearts 2.4% copper E1 ?
2.4
~ 0.25
= 9.6 x factor Now let's decduct 9.6 x ( times ) from Junior X's - 100/million tonnes
= 10.4 million tonnes
Well now... Bravehearts Historical resource sizes were - 5 - 8 million tonnes.
While Junior X's is now 10.4 tonnes.
Proves a smaller richer grade resource can compete with the larger copper deposits
based on higher grades and the best part - richer grade resource doesn't have to process
100 million tonnes of low grade ores...lol
If a junior has a smaller sized resource tonnage but has
higher grades achances are - they could compete with other larger resources
Junior simply has to take it to the next level convert the copper to a higher end use product - it would place the junior at a higher valued status ( profits ) than a larger miner who only produces a - concentrate.
Whichis why... smaller deposits with richer grades should be modelled in a differentr fashion - modelled with an end use product - that fetches far higher profits -
If cobalite is present - then, check the cores and stockpile above grade and brinf sdhareholders the fullest value - why dismiss this vritical step - when shipped concentrates might harbor significant values of other valued minerals. I shuddrr the tohughts of cobalt remained in a concentrate ore that was never factored in for profits. Hnece, sending out raw ores, allows to omuch room for another to profit - injuring the junior and provice and country.
Imagine how many other minerals are with in B.C. concentrates from all other junoors - being shipped out of country using just a 25% concentrate ? Hello.
Cobalite + Carbon Black = should be sought out.
especially when 900/g of cobalt was found in a = rock chip.
As mentioned - introducing an anodizxing or electrowinning - or converting the copper sulphides to = copper hydroxide for fungixice application would certainly ramp up the profits.
Don't kid yourslef... The recent climate changes has made a complete cluter |( f ) out of crops around the world which is now experiencing - fungi issues.
Copper hydroxide is quite easy to make from copper sulphide.
Simple introduction of salts whereas a reaction occurs to bond the copper sulphate to salts.
Which becomes menable to crops and soils.
Copper hydroxide fetches a good - 6,000 7,000 usd. ( per tonne )
Not to drag this subject through the mud.. .but, my goodness, what an easy way to
expound on a decent sized rich copper grade resource -
It's one thing to promote an Ev revolution - but - such won't happen if the food supplies are affected worldwide -
Which is why it's not such a bad idea - allotting a copper resource devoted to combat - fungi's.
Even better, if the copper was kept with in B.C. and made into a copper hydroxide.

Phytophthora Fungus Infects Vegetable Gardens Across the Country
What is Phytophthora?
P. capsici blight, unfortunately, has hit pumpkins early and hard this year, endangering the supply of commercially canned pure as well as jack ‘o lanterns. “Home gardeners may also see it affect their ability to grow tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, and squash.” [source] P. capsici: infects pumpkins and other cucurbits, bell peppers, and eggplant.
Phytophthora, classified as oomycetes, is a fungal genus with 170 described species and another 100-500 estimated waiting for discovery. Phytophthora is one of the water molds, and not one species is up to any good in garden or field.
COPPER = AGRICULTURAL ANTI FUNGI
The key difference between copper hydroxide and copper oxychloride is that copper hydroxide is an inorganic compound, while copper oxychloride is an organic compound.
Both copper hydroxide and copper oxychloride are important as fungicides. Copper oxychloride is useful mainly as a fungicide while copper hydroxide is an alternative for fungicides. Copper hydroxide is also used in the production of rayon, a cellulose fibre. Moreover, copper hydroxide is a bluish-green solid while copper oxychloride is a green crystalline solid.

Copper Sulphide Ores + Sulphuric acid = Copper Sulphate.
Copper Sulphate + Sodium Hydroixde =
Copper Hydroxide salts.
