on broker consensus numbers its the most expensive copper/zinc stock in the world of any scale. So how could an acquiror make it accreative to its shareholders?
According to Bloomberg, OXR trades 11x 2007 earnings, BHP trades 9.8x and Rio 10x. Xstrata on 9.3x. Maybe Phelps Dodge on 11.7x could make it work??
These are broker numbers, as always do your own research before making an investment choice.
