Think about it...
I could be wrong here in my calculations, so please correct me if I'm wrong.
Right now, meaning todate.
.............
Freewest claims is 100% owned, less 9% or 10% Cliffs (to keep it even we will say 10%)
Freewest Joint Venture with SPQ/KWG is 50%
..............
Kwg owns 25% of J/V with Freewest (big Daddy)
Kwg owns 22.5% of J/V with Spq and Uc
.............
Spq owns 25% of J/V with Freewest (big Daddy)
Spq owns 22.5% of J/V with Kwg and UC
............
Cliff owns 20% of Kwg
Cliff owns 10% of Freewest
...........
Now, does it not make sense for Cliffs to make a bid for Freewest.
If they were successful.
This is what they would end up with.
Freewest 100%
Kwg 45%
Spq 25%
UC 45%
They would have the three main Chrome Deposits, Black Thor, Black Label and the Big Daddy, plus more to boot.
This is only on the ROF assets.
Have a great nite......RL
