Just my opinion but I think the deal is off - the chinese will have plenty of copper for the time being given the impending collapse of western economies and proabably their own to a certain extent. they can negotiate a better deal with us later on. Sad...I have waited all of these years.
even more sad, there probably remains some kind of tenuous connnection between the chinese and mdmn that allows mdmn to continue issuing updates and releases referring to the ongong negotiations and feeding our delusions.
if someone is going to drag out negotiations for two years, they need to throw the company a scrap of verifiable meat, a letter of intent, a name, anything to stop the dilution.
well one good thing, we should be receiving those hefty royalty checks from global golden, or whoever they're called, anyday now.
