MMX as we all know is in confidential discussions with interested parties and not just 1 or 2 ,some of these parties could finance OPR and JHEP even without mitsubishi, the court case should be settled by Xmas and CHM the multi litigation experts are dreaming if they think they will get any substantial improvement on the previous decision.Also under the deal with mitsu they paid initial payment of $150 mill then on release of feasebility study once it was accepted by both parties inc WA govt they were to pay the balance based on future estimated income and life of mine,back then the ore body was only multi millions and 10 to max 15 mtpa and now have 3.3bill tons and growing and to produce 20 mtpa and ramp up at low cost to 35 mtpa so that payment should surely be at least 3 times the initial payment,it was in the deal if mmx didnt agree with the amount offered by mitsu it would be decided by an independent arbitrator and that decision would be final, on top of that ,mitsu is responsible for arranging all financing and providing $250 mill to mmx to cover any shortfalls.
