Didn't they have a final payment to make on EH? 
while foxxie may be right about the reason for such a small pp, history has shown that management has done this for almost all pp. Everything is a stopgap measure for them. They have no intention of actually developing their properties, just maintainance until copper is so expensive that someone throws money at them for greenfield projects. The next super cycle for copper has been projected for the last 5 years but the timeline keeps getting longer. SC might be sold because EE is getting tired of waiting for a payday but I also think his greed could get the better of him and wait another year or two before a sale. JMO.
