I can't speak for JJ, but given that they have both debt and equity investments in LBE, they will be extremely flexible with debt repayments -- I'm sure they'd much rather see the cash go in to expansion of operations/growth than repayment of principle... either way, JJ will share in the success of the company. As long as nickel remains over $10/lb, JJ will receive a nice return on investment - no way they want debt repayments to slow growth.
