Agreed, it's important that finance is done while the Zn price is strong, my own feeling is it'll be done in early 2018. Every analyst I've read says prices will remain high in 2018, yesterday the ILZSG reported 401,000t undersupply in the first 10 months of this year. While mine supply rose 3.8% and more coming in 2018, it seems there will be no oversupply and the price will stay high.

I get that some people don't see this happening at all. To me it's like sitting on a bus in heavy traffic and it's not moving as fast as we'd like. We're still moving and nearly at the destination, but some punters will jump off a moving bus, even though it means getting hurt.
