All the envirowacko propaganda about this mine calls it a “gold mine”, so as to distort the truth. It is a copper mine that will produce gold as a by-product.

So if the envirowackos don’t want the copper to build the grid out to connect all the wind generators, then we will have to be explain to them you can’t have one without the other.

By the way, the Chinese are developing a huge copper resource in Afghanistan thanks to our military sacrifice.

Transmission lines today are made of aluminum.

The generators themselves are wound with copper however.

Copper prices are way up anyway.

80,600 million lbs. of copper
5,600 million lbs. of molybdenum
6.7 million lbs of gold

Naturally, this should be called a gold mine.
