I'm not sure the cashflow is that big a deal if it is only USD500k a year. Keep in mind that the company just spent around 10-12m in a couple of months, drilling a few holes in Cortadera. I'm trying to see the big picture play here. Would this functional mine in Productora alleviate much of the start-up costs associated with mining in the region? Does this allow for chile to keep open production of copper in that region? Is the company using this as a way to fully examine the ore body at Productora?

I guess my question is, what does the company get out of this, other than 2m dollars over 2 years? There must be something more
