<<At $.65/pound copper it would cost more to underground mine the deep copper-sulphide layer than the value of the metals>> Mineman, This is no underground. It is open pit. And preleminary operating costs are for $12 per ton. At current low metal prices, each ton has more than $50 worth a metal... and we are not yet counting the gold (if any). Me think you should change your handle <g>.

Mineman, I appreciate that you certainly have the right to post here - but I can not help but believe that MAN has access to much better information about the geophysics of their properties, than you do. Only a shorter would bother to wait until this point to express what you are expressing .... if you were not a shorter - you would have likely expressed your thoughts about MAN long ago. Fact is ... I think you may have got caught a little short and you are taking advantage of the news lull to make your exit - before the next news really gets you potentially caught. In any event, time will tell ..... mining is mining - there are always surprises - both good and bad. MB
