That might make a good subject for a thread, the whole concept of Country Risk ... a pound of copper or ounce of gold in the ground is to me worth much much more in Chile or Québec than it would be in say British Columbia or Angola ... the former two being fairly reasonably pro-mining or at least not anti-mining and completely lawless ... about Zambia specifically i know nothing, should study up maybe ... i do hold suf.to for its PGM asset of Messina in RSA, a country fast going to hell in a handbasket but which is still fairly secure for mining they say ... but it is the country risk holding suf down imho, i don't see any other explanation for the extreme discount ... if fcx lost control of Grasberg in Indothieveria due to rebellion, think what that would do for the price of copper, eh.
