Werner Von Braun! Right here on the website!

Red Cloud think these were "excellent" drill results??? What superlatives do they have left for Warintza or Filo??? Rooly trooly excellent? If these were from a stand-alone deposit they would be considered disappointing drill results, not excellent. When it's a dark-brown-brownfields location (this was condemnation drilling after all,) then the numbers are probably pretty good news I suppose. I mean, it's not a small find...it will surely add big numbers to the Cascabel resources, (if, perhaps, not the reserves.)

Seeing as a F***-off-big copper/gold processing complex is going to be built right there (right ontop of the find, if not for this drilling!) then the economics for TAM are in a very forgiving category. All the plant & infrastructure was gonna be built for Alpala anyhow, so the added expense for TAM is just a (quite big ) pre-strip. But...if you're gonna bother developing TAM at all, (pre-2525, if man is still alive,) then you would have to revise the planned processing plant throughput. You don't spend (lots) on the pre-strip and workforce and mobile plant etc just in order to operate an open pit for 3-4 years while waiting for the Alpala shaft and cave to be built. No...you'd would have to rejig the economic planning and the process plant size so as to accommodate the Alpala high-grade optimal rate, PLUS the ongoing TAM open pit production. Maybe that's a good problem to have...I'm just having a think.

Short of some profound technological revolution, we will get about 1/4 way towards "Net Zero" and the whole notion will blow a head gasket. But it will make us mining speculators very rich in the meantime.

eyesblue, these are fair questions. And the answer is, we dunno.

RK, even the Conservative Party has been invaded by the body snatchers - "Net Zero! Build Back Better! You Will Own Nothing and Be Happy" - so it's hardly surprising that a South American ESG lady would be a bit Bolshie. ;-)

and those pits obviously have/had Filo grades, not XTR grades.

It's not *that* BLM, and it's not *that* Federal Reserve!

Cool article, (even from that Godforsaken rag,) but there are new claims to a battery breakthrough pretty often. It's hard for normal punters to know which element will win. Except for copper.

I can't believe I said those words...Argentina is actually a God-awful country for mining projects, unless you're in a province starting with S (which this one is. I'm serious.) Plus the Lundin factor, of course.

Filo is up 45%, as it so happens. My agenda is to encourage my Pommy mates to be better comparison shoppers, in an area of merchandise what i have spent 20 years staring at. With a bit of luck, xtr might come good and it will all end happily anyhow.

Just as well it's Argentina then.

Plus the ounce and a half of silver over 858 metres...why did you leave that off? Heck just that silver alone (which you accidently left out) is worth ~30% more than the 0.3% copper from Bushranger.

i.e. the world's most prolific copper production region. Sure the topography looks dramatic to us lowlanders, but obviously many have made it work there in the past just fine. Troubles are just expenses, mitigated by grade and tonnage. They could never manage to mine Grasberg with your attitude!

When in doubt, i like the Wisdom of Solomon, i.e. chop the baby in half.

I know some of you love the updates, so one of my copper picks FILO.V just hit the hole of the year with 858m @ 1.8%CuEq. Prease consider.

What is this grovelling?

I 'ope his pitched tent is not in Pattaya wif all the money! ;-)

PERE Ubu...high five to any 7 million quid stock that puts out a PEA.

Iron ore, lumber, copper all screaming along...(I don't mean today, i mean the last few weeks.) Cornsoylithiumpalladium...it all spells one thing...

It's 40% of their post-tax NPV.
