re: patient long term stock Regarding the comment about a 20% increase in zn supply, I was referring to this article...

" Briggs expects extra zinc production will push zinc prices lower next year.

'We still believe that world zinc mine production could surge by 20 pct between 2006 and 2008 through a combination of new operations, restarts, expansions and better performance at certain mines,' he said. "

Good point by damonwo - the joint venture is only for four years, by which time the main project should be up and running.

Just to make my position clear - INL is my biggest holding, so I wasn't trying to pour cold water on the stock. I'm expecting multiples of the current share price before too long.
