Newland, read my post again re sfr and sir. The point was sfr's etc success spawned about twenty copy nearology copy cats. Examples inc ent, the former rhm, rni, Tlm, sipa, hor, sxg etc. I could find more if I thought about it longer. All were similar - tenements near degrussa with vms potential. Same thing happening with sir and nickel sulphides. bux, mat, Aaq, rmr etc

Everything else is a subjective assessment of management skill etc. in terms of will avb fade away, my assessment is no because I like their assets and believe them to have the skill set and financial backing to bring some mines into production.

As we saw with albanese being chopped, even rio has struggled to get visionary mgt. mining is a tough game.
