<<Which makes the copper only half the ave. Since colalt is a by-product of copper or nickel, the price will depend on how many new mines open up in the coming years. >>

Well I used US$10 for CO but it is really above US$20 now. Supplies of Cobalt will increase big time between now and early in the next century thanks mostly to Tenke Mining. Still demand is also growing in a major way. Nobody expect CO prices to stay at US$20+, but nobody expect them to drop below $US10.

In fact all will depends if FM can get high recovery rates on the CO. If so, these deposits will be much more profitable than Bwana Mukbwa.
