Hey I did not pick a Tin Mine and the joint venture i was thinking about was may be with the Chinese and not the one that was announced so i will not take any credit for my guess as the announcement shocked me

Re the question about what will make the share price jump I think when Republic move from speccie exploerer to miner is when the real action will happen and/or when we get a commitment from Chinese mining company. There may be a slight rise with the Tin mine but only by a cent or two or three at this stage - but when it gets closer to production and Republic start earning money instead of spending is when we might see it spike
