Sudbury nickel mines - they made money.... actually according to the Brazilian owners, the reason for shuting down the mines for a year , they could not make money . Liberty will face alot of short falls going forward as is typical of any mine operating anywhere on the Globe. Liberty has the resources ( ore ) but requires millions throwen at it to advance production. Gary has to pinch every penny twice to get his best return and is trying hard but with out the cash has to move slowly but he is advancing. Typically your looking at a ten yr process to get a mine up and running so LBE has come along way with out cash to work with. Traps7
