Imperial Metals musings at $22.90/share.....

In the fall edition of "Mineral Exploration", Red Chris is mentioned:

....The worlds largest mining companies such as BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto are watching the Red Chris project, and Imperial Metals, with a great deal of interest.....

A few scenarios are possible:

1)A large mining company has locked up Fairholme's position, effectively putting control of Imperial in play. Once they acquire 10% in the market and declare, they will make an offer to get a minimum of 50.1% of the the shares.

2)Murray Edwards and Imperial have done a deal with a large mining company where 100% of development capital is put up for up to 50% of concentrate flow, a seat on the board and in mine management. Assuming the development cost is $1.5 billion for 50% of Red Chris, III's market cap should reflect the same or about $40/share before the value of other mines and properties (~$15-20/share). I can see $55-60/share. If copper goes to $6/lb within 3 years as some analysts project, you can easily double my numbers.

3)market simply recognizing a seriously undervalued situation?
