what about Rosey? native copper?.....

NCu is basically bad news, there are very few (perhaps none) companies producing copper from NCu.

someone will immediately say, what about Cudeco (CDU) in QLD? well, it looks like they have an easily workable NCu deposit (according to them) but generally it's a big headache and it's even been left in the ground by some when it's encountered because it's too much trouble to process.

the other issue with NCu is how to assay it, and JORCing such deposits is a big headache because the JORC code doesn't appear to recognise it to any extent..... so you could have a situation where NCu is found and the assay delivers a much lower result than some might feel is right - it's contentious and I'm not an expert, though I went through the long CDU turmoil where the JORC came in at half the company's expected value..... check out the old CDU threads....
