"a different major buys a piece of fwr, and a different major has connections to the not board. Now this is going to get confusing? speculation?"

There are numerous large districts with multiple mining interests. It will not likely be one major that takes over the whole JB area. It would likely be cost prohibitive. It's one thing to stake out large tracts of land for exploration, it's another to take out the shareholders who've paid for the development and proving up of resources on those tracts of land, proving up value. This area is massive. I can't imagine that there won't be a number of majors involved as a matter of course.
