I really believe the JV at this time is NOT with VALE as they will want more info!! BUT ACTUALLY with ANACONDA as mill is ONLY about 20 km or 16 miles from Handcamp site and they are to go into production in JULY 2010!! Ken has also stated on several occassions that HANDCAMP PROPERTY IS A PRIORITY !!! Why is the question?? Because they want this to be MINED BY FALL OR LATE THIS SUMMER!!! That is why the RUSH!!!! IMHO ID
