Electric Jack, careful there with cheap electricity or you'll get our firends on the IPMCF thread think it is cost effective to smelt and electrowin .03 oz/ton. In smelting you use almost the same wiieght of copper as the ores (give ot take 30%), you may need to electrowin some 1500 pounds of copper to process a ton of ores (unless you preconcentrate the goodies), and that can cost you a pretty $500 if the electrowinning process cost about $.5 per pound. Now, when you got about $2500 plus goodies, whatnis a mere $500, but when all you got is less than $100 bucks of goodies, "you is in troubles".

And for those that complained that the stock did not reach the low 1 (under 1.25) just a weak ago, you got you wish this week, and I your humble servitor am still watching. Not jumping.
