Posted in Copper, feasibilty studies, Gold, Investing & Finance, tagged NI 43-101, pebble, perpetual, report, water treatment on February 25, 2011 | 1 Comment »
Here is how you tease the mining industry and confound reporters: issue a news release that you have published your new NI 43-101. Then let them search for an actual copy.
