RE: Sold"I think he wants to know approx. how much metal is in the ground before making his offer."
I think he knows about how much may be there, and it is a lot. Certainly a lot more than he wants to pay for. That much is known.
My take is that he will try and buy BEFORE much more info becomes public.
That was how he managed to gain control in the first agreement.
Let's hope that GC is able to allow the strike to be better defined before the next IVN "deal".
