You are getting way ahead of reality on this combined mine idea.

They are totally different operations and they already share a number of things -- at least seven if I recall correctly from last Fall, which was at the request of Minamb (still MARN then I think) to prevent duplication.

Since when does Minamb dictate to Mibam how mining operations should be engineered? I just don't see Sanz rolling over and doing what Ortega tells him to do. Mibam/CVG have already approved both projects as independent operations. Nobody in VZ has mentioned a combination that I recall -- I see it here often.
