Hi Terry, The two types of deposits may be huge. Murdochville was a small «porphyry copper» deposit: 153 Million of tonnes (porphyry copper deposits may be very huge (10.8 billion of tonnes for the Chuquicamata deposit in Chile)). The Olympic Dam deposit in Australia contains more dans 2 billion tonnes(it's the biggest), but most economical «Olympic Dam» type of deposits contain between 100 and 500 Million of tonnes. So, such a deposit would be nearly enough to re-start the Murdochville smelter. Lot of jobs as you see. JP
