A more detailed financial analysis of the Penoles company and its operations is currently being made to determine performance and return on investment. It appears that Asarco Mexicana, S.A., has been well treated by the Mexican Govern-ment under the Mexicanization laws. As described elsewhere in this report, Asarco is developing a major open pit copper mine at La Caridad, Sonora, and is planning to invest through Mexicana de Cobre about $275 million in this 60,000 ton per day mining complex. 21
