i'm with you hd, however of i had it my way, i would prefer the company to use ka****u and zinc open pit to secure our finances for that. i think ka****u is closer to producing with the ore being only 3m deep and next to sable. a 3rd party would be easy to find. a nice wage from that would do us just fine in the short term.
hi fs, thankyou for your kind words and confidence, i believe in sharing info as we all collectively will have a better chance of beating the market where the odds are against us. as analytical says, i haven't seen a specific document, but i have been on a very clear email trail 2 months ago where cb states ndas are in place and he can't elaborate on details for luansobe. however re iterates discussions topics include, direct sale of the asset partial or full, or revenue sharing, whether it be at the start of the process and selling ore or at the end and sharing revenue from copper sales. i trust the email and i'm using it as evidence towards my investments. hope that helps.
also, a while ago i shared that at 1 of the agms we turned down jlp when they offered us $9 ton rock. from memory this was last year. simple maths for small pit would then be $9 x 6m tons = $54m over the mine life (for that type of arrangement/deal)
fast forward to current day, the chinese are buying ore from the black mountain at 10-$15 ton (see below fb link) (read comments)

so i would expect top end of that for our ore from the ground and not waste ****. $15 ton rock is very exciting for the small pit. it would be easy to assume the chinese would pay us the same minimum. we now have competition between jlp and the chinese at least :-).
that makes for some very lucrative deals heading our way, just by understanding what is already happening
