RE:Rio Tinto Refocusses In case you get shut out by a paywall, Rio is agressively coming after copper. Unfortunately, the competitive tension I had hoped from Newmont does not appear to be coming. Let's hope either Rio grasps are true intrinsic value. Agnico Eagle or Kinross could make a bid. The northern porphry straddles WGO claims and is very close to Betty. At some point in the future, consolidation will need to take place. Still think Rio might be our best bet. They have the capital to carry this forward.
