to me this is a great news. the point are:
- govn and also MATD wants the best and transparent dealing, hence even if we are negotiating with PetroChina, they will have to use intermediary like Envoi. this is to avoid corruption and to proof to the govrnment that all are done in transparent and properly. this image is very important for this large scale of project and also MATD has large mongolian based investors.
- Petrochina can still be interested, but they will have to deal via Envoi as mentioned above.
- MATD wants the best deal. so by using Envoi, we can attract not only Petrochina but also other major companies such as Shell, Exxon etc etc (i just give random name, not saying they are ). Keep in mind, as some mention, Petrochina really wants oil for China, while government wants them to be processed in Mongolia. so, by using Envoi, we can ensure we have wider audience and its being done with low risk of corruption/
- MATD may at the end, have JV partner with not just one, but two companies , hence its better doing via Envoi platform in order to negotiatate the best terms.
all in all, i dont want to read too much into it. but the fact that we are already out there seeking JV, means that licence wont be far away.
good news especially considering our low mcap
