"Pebble is primarily a copper play."

But the first order of business will be mining the gold, which is concentrated at the top, and to one end of the deposit - 100 million+ ounces. It can be mined with at huge profit, and will finance the longer term, more costly efforts elsewhere on the deposit.

In a valuation based on a 10-year discounted cash flow analysis, copper will play a smaller role than you might suspect compared to gold and moly, in my opinion.

Copper is KING,think bread and butter. Mining companies have a constant plan of building all of their ops revolving around COPPER. wHY DO THEY DO THIS. Here is your answer,boom and bust in the metals, because of swing prices, thus as was just posted here (100million oz gold and still counting)but mining cos, keep a focus that the MKT is very swing so they set a benchmark of production,that scale is COPPER PRODUCTION,generally the mill will be 100% design for copper recovery. That way they survive the throws of metal prices flux. That is survival to them. No they do not forget to process the other stuff, but Milo2, you are right,our value is entirely based on,COPPER.
