I'm trying to work up a little excitement over the Carmax deal but I just can't muster it. The idea of being a non-controlling partner in a rather low-grade project doesn't seem like a brilliant strategy. At least we're in control of Van Dyke and it was once an operational mine.

Schaft Creek is low grade but it's massive, so massive that we still don't even know the extent of it. Despite that, and all the other positives we have going for it, we can't unload it.

Oh well, CUU certainly has its share of mountains and mountains of minerals. Ultimately what we need to see is a damn rebound in copper, silver, molybdenum and gold prices. That can't happen soon enough.
