RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Update coming soon..I would be of the opinion that 6 months would be a very long time for a company to decide I if it want to make offer for Lme. After offer is made, it may take a further 6 months to 2 years to close.
There has been so many recent major and minor mining companies acquisitions in the gold and copper area recently. A lot of these are mines in production where it would be more complicated than a simple resource/ risk count Lme would be. I don't think musk team took 6 month to decide on the twitter offer, or Microsoft for activision etc.
It does take time to find prospective buyers.
