RE:kronsteenTime will tell. Cynicism understandable given the last couple of years. I am coming in now with a fresh point of view. I believe there are clear signals that Rio and GOM are about to finally resolve issues re phase 2. Forget the noise folks. Look at the facts. The fact is OT has over $200 billion of copper, gold etc. TRQ knows that. Rio knows that. China will buy it all and more, 'slowdown' or not. Ultimately thats what this comes down to. Oh, and Mongolia will become one of weathiest countries in the world in the meantime. And they know it. But it wont happen without OT.
