CUU own 25% Schaft Creek: proven/probable min. reserves/940.8m tonnes = 0.27% copper, 0.19 g/t gold, 0.018% moly and 1.72 g/t silver containing: 5.6b lbs copper, 5.8m ounces gold, 363.5m lbs moly and 51.7m ounces silver; (Recoverable CuEq 0.46%)
The numbers are my best efffort based on MD&A & reports.
Perhaps Web you can shed light on the 0.12% cutoff, why so much lower than everyone else
Concerned about cash balance also versus the others
