as I said before, SC is not likely to buy kod or mll, they are not the kind of company to be involved directly with digging and dust and all that staff. Probable they now working on the management side of thing, starting with synergies in the environment of both companies infrastructure, then may be an OTA with mll as well. They are planning to handle the sales of the staff and the buying of inputs and providing all or at least helping with finance. In this way SC will be a buyer, a supplier and they get the first slice of profit as money lenders. They will have the management upper hand to make things work 'coordination' to maximize use of resources. by the way sc is not limited to supplying china only, but this will be the preferred option as I explained in the previous post.
forget about samples, they always can approximate them from lab, and they have good experience from SM plant.
