RE:RIO stock offerAlso. One share Rio stock for one share of TRQ is about $5.5 billion for TRQ, this is still extremely cheap. The benefit for stock holders would be continued participation in one of the world's largest and most modern copper gold mines............... Rio Tinto, would be able to purchase the stock back over time, as cash is generated, the beauty for them is no initial cash out of their pocket, plus the purchase of TRQ for almost nothing. $55, RIO approx price, would still be a steal for RIO TINTO............. $5,390,000,000
