Jack I know you will not argue semantics with me. We all know who is behind Antofagasta and we all know the family make up. They are London HQed but primarily based out of Chile and YES mining for copper is not theie only source of income. They are big into many things. Transportation and Water too!. Would they have an interest in the Pumillahue. Hmmmmmm who knows!.
Jack you really should do a little more homework on Antofagasta....there are some interesting people involved with them that are big time players in other fields in Chile. And Juan is not dictating terms to them. He is dictating terms to the primary JV partner. I would suggest you don't get to sure of yourself and what you think about this deal. Rumors are running that one geologist has said this could be the largest mineral find in the last 25 years....but hey that's just rumor.
