As an aside, I've met numbers of people recently in the Vancouver mining community who are quite experienced and work on many projects in BC. I'll often ask for a casual opinion on Copper Fox and Schaft Creek, to see if any can add something to the collective pot of wisdom. Surprisingly a good number don't have Schaft Creek on their radar at all, or know almost nothing about it. Same with some fairly astute traders I know who trade for a living and do well at it. This is somewhat perplexing to me, especially given the fact that we were rated the top TSX Venture stock for 2010 and had a market cap of $1 billion dollars in 2011.
I can add a bit to the above (without thy bashing). I have contact to a guy that works for a well respected online mining and commodity newsletter/site (though I will not name it here) and I got this reply when asking him about CUU (I have to admit I got a bit suprised with his answer).
"CUU isn't viable - payback period is 10-11 years. It's a big resource so they might be bought out by a major but they won't be able to build it on their own, definitely not"
Maybe I'm a fool but obviously I didn't agree as I'm still in CUU...
