I am looking at Danvers from salpetie's analogy above in that the NE resource at Danvers will possibly replicate itself several times to the SW .
If that fails its a big prospective area that WCN and SMM have with several outcrops of Cu but Danvers even if it got no bigger than 3Mt would make nice early high grade feed for a mill to pay back capital
So for a mining engineer like you how does this sound ?
find say 20Mt of ore at 2% Cu by all the prospectors in the area (WCN and SMM and Sitka ) so 400k tonnes Cu which should keep the capital intensity per tonne of Cu produced under US$ $2000 per tonne on $600M CAPEX ($300M for roading and wharf , working capital and $300M for 2Mtpa concentrator on site ?
