zijin mining group to proceed strategic p/ship, page-41

with a week to go until the first tranche goes in (hopefully), what is the potential effect is US goes in default? will this be a problem?
im still a bit baffled the sp is still single digits this close to the potential cash in the bank but good to see the sellers have thinned out a bit in the last week and its only small money needed to give the sp a leg up. really hoping this first step does indeed happen and this time next week ill be sleeping a lot easier
