A poll of market analysts by Reuters, projects that Grupo Mexico's profits for 1st quarter of 2010 will be almost 20 times their profit from a year ago; up from $19 million to $383 million. The dramatic increase is attributed to the company's acquisition of Asarco and the large rise in copper prices. [right, Asarco's Mission mine, Arizona. Credit, Asarco]From Reuters:
