I have a couple of questions for our learned posters. Thanks in advance to those who reply.

1.) I don't recall having read anything that 100% confirms AVB will be selling exclusively to China. Europe and the US are much closer, are these not markets that can be exploited? Does being a low cost producer help with these markets?
2.) To what extent, &/or what knowledge do any posters here have, with regard to viable & reliable replacement of copper? (I understand aluminium and some plastics replace copper in some circumstances. But I thought this only occurred where the inferior qualities of aluminium and plastics allow this to happen, so not a great deal.)
3.) What are the newest, latest technological developments that may increase demand for copper?

I have a few ideas of my own here, but would be grateful to hear other opinions, it is an interesting line of thought for AVB holders to discuss .....IMO

Cheers, hope you all enjoy a safe and happy Easter break.
