I do not believe that any of those moly projects that you mention, Mr. Aloha, have started construction yet. If "It takes 10+ years to bring a sizable new project to production," for a zinc project, how come the experts figure the moly guys can get even bigger projects into production sooner.

My feel is that in many of the traditional zinc producing areas, where production is declining or has recently stopped, companies are going in with more sophisticated geophysics etc and are finding ore. e.g. Mattagami area of Quebec, Buchans area of Nfld, UNO in the Bathurst area of New Brunswick, and a long shot, the search for the twin of the Sullivan in B.C. some of these could get into production very quickly, because of the presence of existing infrastructure. Canada used to be the world's largest zinc producer, so I do not feel this effort will be inconsequential.
