lead, zinc, copper etc are much less of an issue
if the rare earths are proven to be recoverable that would add a little spice to the mix. china has 90% of the reserves of those and export controls. other countries would be well incentivised to pay a lot for those

that would depend on the price I think LJC, glencore don't need to pay over the odds for BMR
if there were a bidding war between hunan and other II's that would be a good thing
