Yup, as and when district scale is proven here then all the numbers will multiply by a very hefty factor, both in terms of up-front lead-item costs and, of course, the revenue coming in off the back of that investment.
Find multiple T3-alike resources here and that revenue could well be in the 11-digit arena ($10b+) as the current PFS Expansion Case (which looks nailed already) on just the existing T3 pit (not inc underground) is already north of $2b @ $3 Copper.
I suspect but cannot know, that those costs won't be falling on MTR's shoulders and perhaps only on MOD's shoulders in part by then as there's just no way on God's green earth that MOD/MTR will be making the District Scale production calls imo - someone, somewhere will take over for sure imo.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, FWIW and imo, we may well see this North Eastern ground (comprising T3/T1/new T3 Complex domes being drilled right now) adjacent to Cjupric Canyon's more advanced project(s) taken out in one fell swoop (maybe even including Cupric Canyon themselves) leaving MOD/MTR drowning in cash and still with massive exploration acreage to go and exploit going forward via the remaining MOD/MTR JV (T20 Dome Complex to the South specifically - it's twice the size of T3 Dome Complex!) and MTR's new up-to-50% JV with KML ground on the other side of Cupric Canyon and to the West South West of T3.
Lots of options but the major thrust here I would humbly suggest is that district scale production is way beyond both MOD and MTR and I would expect deal(s) to be forthcoming forthwith if that's proven to be the case in this super exciting drill campaign.
