Quite a bit of vitriol in the above but some vigorous, intelligent postings nonetheless - from both the pessimistic and optimistic camps. Well done.
It's a shame so many of Minco's charts and diagrams are always in some nasty PDF, Powerpoint or other programme that blurs the call-outs and captions: I could really use a readable version of, say, the Bilbao drillings and, of course, the services of a good geologist to sit at my elbow and interpret them.
Ditto a mining engineer to tell me what kind of build ($) it is likely to be.
