Only stranded thing is FMS bod. Horse and cart or Steam trains are no longer used.(save them time and pass mesage on)
I found that MIN’s opinion is that we are experienced in mining and we value your asset and want to develop it with you.
No CR for BCK SH
90% of BCK owned by Hong Kong and Bahama investors.
Contract.
A number of peripheral companies will be formed to manage the project.
