Cost Curves
----------------
Major enhancements have been made to the sorting routines for the lead, zinc
and copper cost curves. The mine name labels now automatically re-sort and
re-position themselves in the right place and the user now has complete control
over which mine name labels are displayed in the cost curves.

This is very difficult to do in Excel!

Download the free sample cost curve containing the new sorting routines from
the minecost cost curve page.

The enhanced routines will be added to the nickel, silver, iron ore and moly curves
as the relevant models are updated.
