RE: Thyssen Bailing OutCline will still have to announce that they have purchased the New Elk properties with the money lent by mitsui.
The Thysen/Mitsui deal is actually a private deal between themselves that was most likely agreed upon when the price was closer to the price they setled at.
Mitsui owns a chunk of WTN also. I see Lossan being mined by WTN no matter who ends up owning WTN.
