SS,

In the copper world people would falling over themselves to get 8%.

I think you are just being bloody minded and lost balance here. Every big copper Mine in Peru and Chile has nothing like those grades, and even a pure copper mine like CDU that has nuggets of copper (i.e. actual metal in nodules lying underground talk about, thats talk not actually know, about) possibly achieving 8%.

BTW, CDU explored and turning from explorer to producer because....they found old diggings. And guess what, they use XRF hand-helds for screening. I think you are somewhere beyond Pluto at the moment and hard to tell which or who is worse. I know which way I am leaning.
