3 reasons Cline wont buy this royalty.1. He is in control of vast empires and he sweats the details but this royalty isn't particularly important to him except for one thing.
2. He understands that MOX/ERD is owned largely buy the good folks of Nova Scotia. He realizes that by spreading some of his wealth from Morien into the area he will get the necessary support for longwall. Remember he approached the Miq Maq and offered them a royalty despite all permits in place for the 2.75 million tonnes. This is a clear indicator in my mind that he gets it.
3. The price is going to be higher and won't be as good of a use of hi money as finding another gem that all the locals were over negative about buying it and bringing it into development by playing nice and most importantly intelligent.
