Marginal mines should close up. Drilling will be down. Pressures on commodities is easing. Salaries should also ease in this environment. I think we could see costs come down across the board, but may take 6-9 months to show up. Won't be huge, but even a small decrease measured against the relentless increases will be a welcome sight.

Yes...Consolidation in this space is coming... I suspect the next upswing will have to address cost inflation in a manner not seen during the last 10 year bull run. Won't make the same mistakes I did last time by being in the jr drillers way to early. When money comes back in it will go to the best of the best first, then down to the best of the mids then, once good profits locked in, to the jr's for the high risk/reward leverage. If they come..;)
