I'm not concerned about MIN - I believe they will add on market to their holding once clear to do so. PLS has too much potential in the resource they want -then the SP will start to rise towards where it should be. The only concerns I have are the ridiculous past issue of options and hopefully HC posters have now got the message across. I have dealt extensively with Chinese based business in the past and they can be tricky. I very much welcome KB talking to ML and hopefully his experience will add to a successful outcome. There is one basic tip I can give in dealing with the Chinese and although other elements like trust and friendship are vital the Chinese have no idea about what I call "the law of consequence" In other words they will screw hard on the deal they have in front of them with no idea it could affect deals down the track. Please lets not us all get frustrated to the point of negativity.
