Regarding Beutong, I think they also need to figure out a way of satisfying and getting local stakeholders' buy-in because they're not going any further without it IMO.
Copper getting close to the $4/lb mark and we're languishing in the doldrums of 2-3p a share. If ARS was being properly managed, it would be flying as a company right now.
From what I can tell, MT is raising legitimate concerns about Aeturnum. Having followed ARS for years on the ADVFN thread, he's a well-informed investor, not a troll as people are making him out to be.
