Yellowhead and NPOld attitudes and big egos will find it very difficult to get new mines permitted today or in the future. If current management are unable to show they can negotiate in good faith, a few things may happen.
Yellowhead and NP will not be permitted.
Taseko may have to sell those assets to a larger miner that can get permitting done.
Mangement can be replaced with new faces that can take a fresh approach and get it done.
Taseko shares should do very well in acouple years as Flo comes into production...assuming copper price is high or higher. And it will make a MASSIVE gain for share price if Yellow and/or NP are looking likely to be permitted at that time! That is the really big opportunity management should be working hard on right now!
