I'm just postulating,
We often talk about either fighting this through to the end, or hoping for a takeover.
What are the chances of splitting the difference? A Western Co stepping in and agreeing to fund our litigation for a chunk of the project?
I for one would much rather lose a chunk of the project to that than see it go to those corrupt ÷&$×* Zijin....
No idea how it would work but if Kobold or Rio (just for arguments sake) said they'll fund the litigation and then a portion of development for an earn-in of 50% (draw the line at whatever % you like) - I would probably be happy with that. Mega-deal for them, and I'd rather 50% of a company going into production than having to sell out now for a fraction of what we're really worth.
