Well put Fairgame & agree. Just look at Golden China Resources GCX.V, a Cdn company with (now) gold mine - Beyinhar Gold mine - in China .
Note: GCX is presently under a take-over bid by Sino Gold Mining (one reason why the SP has doubled in recent months). Ownership by GCX of the Beyinhar mines is current & it seems that GCX were able to pull that off just fine.
Wits on the other hand, & I will state that this is all with the benefit of 20/20 HINDSIGHT, seemes to have chosen a bad partner in EK.
I am really hoping that the low reached this week is a bottom. So with that optimism, sky is limit (& up I might add).
