vale aims to become big copper producer, page-4

Thanks Poet.

It gets very interesting now. We'd definitely be on Vale's radar for all that Copper we have plus Xstrata's back in terms for 80kTpa capability would make it even more interesting.

I'd think the offtake from the 10kTpa Antas deposit could be part of the negotiations now that we already have the trial mining license and are close to a PEA. I also think that the PB copper wouldn't be easily available to Vale due to Xstrata back in terms. Will like to know others' opinion on it.

Thanks Doors, fantastic news to start the week.
