The Majors Missed Their ChanceTo get in on the action. I think the Chinese will get a piece of the West Foreland pie too. Lundin made a bid for Nevsun, and the Chinese made a better offer. If the majors want some of West Foreland, I would expect the Chinese to beat their offer for a piece of the action. I still remember Friedland saying they would start looking at North American projects too.
The majors are very keen on the action taking place in Ecuador. Solaris Resources has a nice discovery, and you still have SolGold and their Cascabel project. I also heard SolGold had made another discovery a while back. I do not keep my eye on what is taking place there.
