If mongolian government screws us.... I am guessing that Rio Tinto would buyout Entree. Maybe. Just guessing. And that our Ann Mason Net smelter return goes up from 0.4% to 2-5%. That would be one option. Getting the cash back would also be nice.
I think the Ann Mason Smelter return is the forgotten gem on this deal. And politicians will say what they have to say to try and get elected. But let's not kid ourselves. They want the gold, copper, silver out of that ground as much as Rio Tinto does and as much as entree does.. And as much as we do. The government can push but only so hard. If they push too hard they will be left with a pile of rocks in the ground. And Rio Tinto will grab their ball and go home.
WHo has more to lose? The government or the mining companies? Got physical gold and silver yet???? Its starting to look better and better.
