Sorry to hear that flyingrobots. I don't agree with ABH or his Debbie Downer speach this time!
As we have all had our disappointments with "being long", based on CPRK's missed dates, lagging start, lack of PR's, I think this one will end that trend. Whether you love him or hate him, Mark nailed it with these comments:
"After previously commencing production operations at the mill, commencing the regular shipment of copper concentrate pursuant to the concentrate sale agreement represents the next major step in the progress of our project," said Mark Dotson, Copper King's CEO and President. "This signifies that we have achieved the successful operation of all of the major circuits in the mill for the production of commercial quantities of saleable copper concentrates on a regular basis. We now look forward to increasing production rates as well as to further exploration and potential development of the entire Milford Mineral Belt."
You can pick the Sept. 21st date apart all you want, but the lead mouth in this whole project is tied to his statements by an agreement, even he can't control.
- Pursuant to the concentrate sale agreement - Sempra will hold him accountable
- successful operation of all the major circuits - we know from this line that all the mills are up and running and the testing of each is complete and successful!!
- increasing production rates - this tells us that we have been very careful in our testing periods and ramp up in order to dial in production and limit mistakes along the way. They are now ready to move to the next step, which wouldn't be possible without regular shipments!!
Our next hurdle is long term financing. Once again, all you pundits will harp on the lack of information. Well, get used to it because if they aren't forthcoming with information about how close the mill was or the Sempra deal, you think they'll give you even a glimpse into the books????
Stay long my good friends and don't read the boards. It has done wonders for my life in the past few months and it looks like the board and myself are better for it! I got to the place I wanted to be with CPRK without pushing the Sell button once! Good luck everyone!
