I heard someone say that on the original CC as a factor.

I don't think much of that excuse.

they used parity in their models.

the problem was the cost estimates for building infrastructure like the tailings pond and dam.

the costs were far higher than expected (more than double) and at $600 PoG and $1.50 copper the project was uneconomical. it would be very profitable at current metal prices.

The (somewhat) amusing thing about that is that the loonie has done nothing but tank immediately before and since the announcement (down around 11% in the last 5 weeks).

Would be hilarious if they announced that due to revaluation of the Loonie, the project is back on!<G>
