James, do you even have one idea about how the resource licenses work?
Russia own the land, they simply give out licences for the extraction of the resources. Ownership of said licenses is cemented legally.
Whatever the plan is for Monchegorsk it has been agreed all round, it always has been, the plan is clearly to the governments satisfaction, hence the Rosgeo JV.
China will take all resources, that's a given at this stage. Russia still wants and needs investment in their country, of course, Western investment may slow down for a short period. Eastern investment will continue, they're business men, a weaker ruble with higher metal prices creates a far better profit margin.
