Does anyone know how a smelter contract works?
Point Being:
- All contributors would like more information specific to production and potential revenue numbers to baseline CPRK.
- Most would agree that we have enough information to believe that ore has been crushed, the mill has been restarted, and the mill is performing up to expectations.
- So, the next step would be to track the workflow once it leaves the plant. The fastest way to get the truth is from a 3rd party, doing direct work for CPRK, but one that has no stake in the game.
Next Steps:
- Does anyone know what trucking company CPRK used to haul the 475 tons to Hayden, AZ? If so, let's call them and find out if CPRK has reengaged them to haul current shipments.
- It's been stated several times that Asarco is the smelter. It's in Hayden, AZ. Does anyone live in or around Tucson? If so, would you mind making some calls into Asarco to see if we can determine if CPRK CuCon is being processed? Or, even better, personally inquire. Eye to eye always works better :). I realize this would go through the buyer, which has been kept anonymous, but maybe the buyer is Asarco. They are a mine and who knows, maybe their goal is to increase copper to the market whether they are mining it all or not.
If we can find out anything along the lines of those two items, I think we could extrapolate numbers much closer to the true short term output of what CPRK is producing.
But, hopefully CAM does read this board and will quickly make this post moot with a PR stating production and estimated revenue :)!
Thoughts?
