RE:Statement from Mitsubishi (translated from Japanese) Even Steven,
Great article on Mitsubishi Materials and their comments about their part in the WRN Casino project. I may be reading between the lines too much, but I am picking up from these comments by MM quite a few autonomous statements. Up to this point I had thought that they considered themselves a co-partner with another player like RIO, interested only in receiving the copper and further modifying the copper into their more refined products. But their statements in this press release has some comments that lead me to think they are considering doing this project by themselves. Did anyone else pick up on this? That would make them a direct competitor to RIO with their 5% interest in Casino vs RIO with their 7-8 % interest, which would throw a whole new light on their intent.
