Copper mining ‘boom’?

Open pit mine sought (again)

Public input to EA open 1st wk Sept.  

 

 

  Env Assessment

 

Kutcho Copper-Zinc-Silver-Gold Project

Status: Pre-Application -- 2005/07/29

 

Acid mine drainage potential here – massive sulphide deposits

 

Bubble or Boom ahead?

But is price a ‘bubble’?

This mining project was looked at earlier but decided uneconomic at copper prices of 98c/ pound --- but present boom in global economy has pushed price to 3.50$US ---- so time to look again at mothballed mining projects –high prices Zinc & Silver also make project more attractive

Links to price graphs:

Copper ---- Zinc ------Silver

Here is good Believe it ‘boom page’ from earlier

And from their home page
