Certainly for AVL could be interesting days ahead. AVL is also possible take over target for MCP, here is article:

“Time is not on their hands,” said Brian Hennessey, a Purchase, New York-based analyst for Alpine Mutual Funds, which oversees $6 billion. “Molycorp would do themselves a service by diversifying into heavy rare earth. There are a number of companies with much lower valuations in the marketplace. They can use their currency to do fairly accretive acquisitions.”

Now, when Chinese are here for AVL maybe this process will be much faster for AVL, MCP doesn't want China to control one of the Biggest HREE deposit in the world. Let see if they will be faster than Chineese, I say it is possible that AVL will get take over proposal from MCP very soon! Of course only IMHO.

GLTA!
