Being a novus at copper mines there was an interesting article in todays West Australian about BHP's Escondida copper mine in Chile after they increased the resource by 129% they are sitting on 1 trillion dollars worth of copper with a mine life of 100 years . The copper contained in the ore is roughly 0.5% I couldnt find the West article heres the Australian's version http://www.theaustralian.com.au/business/bhp-doubles-escondida-resource-estimate/story-e6frg8zx-1226098634699
Just 10% of that mine would do us lol
