Ann: Withdrawal of Metal Equivalent Results, page-11

Sure marketing is a massive factor for all companies, especially those without cash flow trying to explore or develope. It's an absolute fight to access capital, better managers who can do this should lower dilution and increase gains.

And like you eluded to there are others who have alternate motivations on how to make money in resources. Fooling with metal eq is one of the signs a company needs some smoke and mirrors to push their barrow a bit based on past experiences. Or it's amateur hour. My take is metal eq are used in this way to attempt to make grades look higher and create hype.

Will watch and see, limited number of high grade copper ops around on the market.
