<Wouldn't the processing of sulfides (this is no surprise here) suggest a larger capex, rather than a higher per ton cash cost? >

Yes... no doubt. But there would also be higher recoveries in all 3 metals... In a conventional operation you would recover the silver and the copper even at these low grades.

<Or would the later be significantly higher as well? >

I don' think so.

<And, it would seem a high probability that this one will be large enough to justify the higher capex?>

Exactly... RioTinto is going for something with 200++ millions tons here..

<In terms of buying the rest of my position here, I suspect we will get the typical pattern after a discovery..>

No doubt.... I am not a buyer above $0.30... but would love to pick more near $0.25.
