It does to me seem somewhat analagous to the AQI Newmont situation

I'm no expert but I like the fact that RTZ now owns 15% of ANO.u-I like the fact that RTZ seemed happy to accept AZO.u stock as payment.

Like which ones have gone into production and made money without a major being involved? Buying a resource from a major and spending some money on it to make it better, perhaps has indeed happened and there's been some spec opportunities but none of these has made any money as a mine. Anyhow I sense the majors are changing and they are more interested in IRR rather than ounces.
