Personally I think $3.50 will be the new normal within a few years. Demand is growing while head grades at the "big ten" copper mines are dropping and there are no new major deposits to come online. Oyu Tolgoi underground is the best of them and it's not at all comparable to a Grasberg or Escondida.
In that sort of price environment both the Canadian mine and Cloncurry will be cash cows.

from Q1 report
"Total cash costs for the period were $1.90 (U.S.) per pound of copper sold net of precious metal credits and after all off-site charges. "
