Mitsui

Looks like they took ol Stewrusty to the cleaners.... they get 40 mill lbs at a 75% discount .... 120 million cash on the barrel at 4 buck copper .... 170 mill at 6 buck copper.... all for just 50 mill...... so run stream for 3 years at 6 buck copper will net mitsui 30 mill.... then exercise option for 50 mill for 10%....
this implies mitsui gets 10% of all the copper at cost of production.... mitsui does not have to pay any developement or construction costs ( which is about 200 million to date, with another 300 ish left to spend)..... so they save 50 mill ish.... so basically for 20 million they get 10% of all flo's copper at the cost of production..... that is taking someone to the woodshed..... question 4 all..... why did tko need the 50 million so bad?

C'mon now people, the terms of the agreement are defined in perfect detail, you simply need to read the whole thing. No, they don't get 10% of the entire company for Gawd's sake! Florence is an operating subsidiary of Taseko. When all is said and done, Mitsui will exorcise their option to become 10% owners of Florence Copper for the stated $100M US. The remainder of the terms of the ...more
