KORE is a company a lot of readers have asked about. Frankly, I’ve not been a big fan of the company’s projects, which are of modest grade, even for open-pit projects. And if the one in southern California is as high-margin as the company says it is, why hasn’t the larger mining company next door made a bid for it (or all of KORE)? I asked these and more questions. Kudos to Scott Trebilcock for facing the music straight on.
