@AlexPinder7 2. Name a product where a mineral commodity prices high enough to be a constraint on human use of it. Ignore coal, which we don't need to prospect for more anyway.

@AlexPinder7 3. Since spreading capital to more projects generally brings lower grade, higher cost sites into consideration, it isn't clear that this reduces costs. Which is why junior mining prospectus presentations speculate on the value when prices go up, not down.

@AlexPinder7 These projects are like the tar sands of the mineral industry. Meanwhile a more sustainable future lies in closing the loop of already extracted minerals.
