gouvernment most of the people here are funny
1) You guys are saying halt it and show them how much money they will lose. Well the only loser with this mentality are the trq and RIO shareholders. Believe me if that really happen the stock of trq will plunge hard and your the one who will cry for the loss.
2) the gouvernment will not lose money but rather miss a revenue. Tere is a big difference between losing money and losing an increase in revenue. The cooper and gold will still in the ground no matter if rio extract it or not.
3) Don't f**k a lot with foreign gouvernment. Don't play the tough guy cos I seen many companies losing permits to only see it going to another company or they simply nationalize it.
The best is to say no to the gouvernment but don't play the tough guy and keep building with the mouth shut!
