Cause for cautious optimism

Trust, but verify. Th e 40th U.S. president’s signature phrase seems appropriate following the entrance of yet another mining company onto the stage otherwise known as the Mt. Emmons mine site. A subsidiary of mining giant Freeport-McMoRan inked a deal last week to acquire the historic Keystone Mine, its water treatment plant, the molybdenum deposit under the mountain and properties related to past attempts to bring a mine into production.
