Merlin had a coffee table type book with the full illustrated story of Skorpion's exploration, development, and early production all laid out beautifully, i think he likely had a direct line to somebody in middle management at Anglo, and they likely had a quite logical scheme cooked up between them, that became redundant when that somebody did, got retired or replaced or removed ... just guessing here of course ... but the thing was that Sierra Mojada has the same oxide zinc and better numbers on several metrics than did Skorpion, on which Anglo made great profits, plus you had the silver for virtually free It'll take both metals for this project to really pick up value, imho, don't care what anybody says, it's not an either-or proposition ... it's not tricky metallurgy though, everything about infrastructure and location is outstanding, you shouldn't need to do much more than break even on one metal when the other is in fashion, to get a very attractive IRR
