Higher Copper prices will drive the valuation of our Royalty on Los Azules Copper and will put this very important project to the forefront of M&A activity in Latin America.
McEwen Mining has compared the project to recently acquired Lumina Copper's Taca Taca in Argentina and you can find more on McEwen Mining website.
There are money for the good large scale copper projects and China's MMG will invest USD 3 billion in the recently acquired Las Bambas. Lundin Mining acquisition of Copper assets in Chile brings us another indication for the industry insiders evaluation of risks and opportunities.
I am very pleased to report our latest development on Los Azules.
We have finally locked up the participation in this unique world-class copper asset for the benefit of all our shareholders:
1. Now we do not have to wait for feasibility study.
2. We do not have to contribute any capital.
3. Our industry standard NSR in "one of the largest undeveloped copper projects", according to McEwen Mining, is in effect immediately and can be monetised now at any time.
4. 0.4% NSR is now attributed to the entire Los Azules project - it is higher than pro-rata 0.6% attributed to only our part of Los Azules before.
5. We will participate in sale of Los Azules by McEwen Mining within 36 month and it is not affecting our NSR.
6. We are receiving shares in McEwen Mining.

A. Sale of Los Azules by McEwen Mining within 36 months.

Copper also climbed after a similar euro-area gauge unexpectedly increased.“While the manufacturing sector likely stabilized in October, the economy continues to show signs of insufficient effective demand,” Qu Hongbin and Julia Wang, economists at HSBC Plc, said of China in a note today. “This warrants further policy easing, and we expect more easing measures on both the monetary as well as fiscal fronts in the months ahead.”Copper for December delivery added 0.4 percent to $3.029 a pound by 7:32 a.m. on the Comex in New York.
