Hi Gracey
I for one... and probably many on this thread don't doubt ANS's commitment to want to do this deal. That has never been in question and ANS's support from 15 or so months ago got the SDL project moving (in theory) again!
However what is questioned and the unknown in this hole thing is ANS capacity to bring a meaningful Chinese investment to the table. There are naturally some external factors here...... but for the past 15 mths there is still no promised $100mil investment in SDL or even NDRC approval.. and no signs of it.
Basically SDL and ANS need each other to survive long term and I, as most of us do, really really hope ANS can bring the much promised investment to the table and get this who thing moving. I honestly do not know if it will or won't succeed.... but if it takes another 6 months or longer to get there.... it will be worth the wait for most shareholders!
I do still struggle though with your harping on that ANS is bigger or more important than SDL.... and to be fair others view it the other way too! Bottomline... both companies need each other to survive long term and without ANS bringing the funding or without SDL bringing the ore deposits... both companies have nothing else to really generate any tangible and long term revenue for survival!
