coal is a good buy , i agree, . China is building 45 coal fired power plants a year. ( almost one a week ) They also have 50 major bridges they plan on building over the next five years, which is going to require a lot of steel. The coal from alberta and b.c., is some of the best metalurgical coal in the world. That's whats needed for making quality steel. And they need a lot.

I've read that in the last two months they've been "criss crossing b.c. looking to purchase coal"

At this point however, in my opinion, Q-gold should stick to the metals. When they turn the corner and profits start rolling in, then it'll be time to diversify.
