Well Lupidog's post hasn't disproved the optimists, as he stated others should do to the pessimists. What we do know about the future is that the minerals SML are mining at their mining sites are crucial to future technology. We also know the tin mines in Cornwall were shut down years ago as they were considered to be depleted. New techniques are now bringing them back into play. Leigh Creek has proven copper deposits and they will be retrieved. In two years or so the methods used and discarded by previous owners will be perfected and used, in the same way as Redmoor in Cornwall is being looked at again.
