The Chinese will not only never let go of Tibet, but they also now want to massively make money out of it.
Tibet was a cash drag for China for 5 decades, now they build the highest, longest and largest railway in the world, and they want foreigners to invest there. Foreign investment gives the Chinese the feeling of being backed internationally, so they will protect the pioneer investors in Tibet.

And the Chinese want foreigners to invest in copper more than anything else, because the skyrocketing copper imports are a major burden for China.

That's why there is no political risk, but political benefits. And that means 1. Security, and 2. cheap project loans from China's state banks.

Cheap project loans are the most important factor for Orchid. If they get it, the stock will be a hundredbagger.
