Hi Walt, Consider the source (aj). We were lucky that he was suspended for awhile but not for long enough.Responding to aj or the other 3 brainless ones is a waste of your time and effort. They don't care about the facts they just spew their garbage. I guess they get their kicks doing that. Your posts are very much appreciated by the rest of us, so pls continue for our benefit. Thanks Tony P S -- If we ALL continue to ignore their posts and NOT respond to their garbage, we'll cut down on the nbr of posts, which should make reading this thread a bit easier.

How many (few million) did Ekati cost Walt? my numbers are based on: 1) 10,000,000 tonne of rock. 2) average cost of $500,000,000 to build a mine and mill and infrastructure. These are not my numbers. The $2000.00 a tonne value is what needs to be in place for such a small deposit to be economic. The more tonnage the less value per tonne obviously. There are no in between or small mom and pop operations in this business Walt, it is either full scale or a no go, people don't mine for altruistic reasons. I think WSP will have a dandy little run in the mean time, cheers. aj
