Too bad they are not publicly traded. It would be good to invest in them since copper prices will be going up.

And how will they stay competitive with overseas sources?

Same way West Texas Intermediate does.

With all the data center building and other new tech, we will see a shortage of copper (thats my opionion anyway). I think we will see that they came on the scene at the right time.

We drive by this area frequently. Glad to see a bump in our local economy.

Good timing now with high copper prices.

Is it ok if I mention the only ‘primary’ nickel mine in the USA, U.P. of MI.

First off, the nickel is a large component of batteries, ‘green energy’. That said, I know some lefties that were/are adamantly against this mine. I guess the nickel can come from China, Canada, or wherever.

I’ve flown over this site, VERY small footprint, 150 acres, as the vehicles go underground. The tunnels will be filled as veins are played out.

Kinda like the ‘drill baby, drill’, it’s time for ‘mine baby, mine’ also. Doing so will have many more environmental protections here than in the ‘third world’, with China as the operator.

The penny hasn't been made of copper for years.
