Snow, read your own post, you said
"There could be assets worth 10 billion and no real value. The reason is that the assets are the gross value of the metals. It costs money to extract the metals. The real value is after those costs have been paid. We don't know how much that will cost."
You lumped the gold in with it so let's just figure the gold only, ok?
5mil oz. X $700(it will be there very shortly) = 3.5 Bil usd
Cost to produce gold $250 per oz(doesn't cost that much).
5mil oz. X $250 = 1.25 bil usd
3.5 bil - 1.25 bil = 2.25 bil usd PROFIT
It's worth at least a bil to get 2.25 bil over the next 20 years, not even counting the rising price of gold.
So even if nothing else was ever processed but the gold there still is HUGE REAL VALUE.

It is even later spring now snow, catch my drift? I'll catch yours next winter!
