Nate, what your failing to realize is that just because the commodity is in the ground does not mean its worth X. The product must be in saleable form before a actual market value can be determined! IMO.
What if I told you that their was 20 billion of missing treasure out in the ocean? Would that increase my net worth? Wouldn't I need to find it first and deliver it to the market?
Lastly, and correct me if I am wrong, but doesn't CPRK lease all the land that all the copper sits under? Little difficult to place value on something when your name isn't even on title/deed..IMO...
You can have all my shares for a $1.00 / share anytime you want. IMO we should be trading 2-3 cents now and 10 cents in 2 years when revenues are proven.
