RE:RE:RE:Corvus goldPaul failed to clarify that $2 billion won't be entertained by RIO IF the agreed upon NPV ends up being the "headline NPV" figure. Of course, if we use realistic metal prices for an inflationary future and or a realistic discount rate of 5% we double the headline NPV figure.
A convenient fact that slipped Paul's mind. Maybe he was stressed out at the interview or had too many things he was trying to get out during the interview and his thoughts got jumbled? Anyways, this is how an educated individual should interpret his interview.
