Elizabeth,

Well .... I am assuming that the miner I stayed with in that area and that worked on it for many years knows what he is talking about. I suppose he could be wrong, but I think I will give him the benefit of the doubt.

The average in BC is near 1.5% copper for VMS deposits.

BTW Windy Craggy ad a positive feasibility if I remember..and the grade was 1.6% copper only. Granduc had 1.79%. Britannia 1.9%. These 3 were 3 VMS with copper only..very little zinc, gold, silver or lead.
Of course, the porphyry deposits are closer to .5% copper.
