''Mitsubishi Corp said on Monday it had bought an 18 percent stake in Peruvian copper project Quellaveco, a hotly contested asset among Japanese trading and mining companies''

''Japan's largest trading house outbid JX Nippon Mining and Metals Corp, the parent of Japan's biggest copper smelter Pan Pacific Copper, Mitsui & Co and one other Japanese trading company, an industry source said.''

Elmer could always ask the loosing bidders to come and see us once Teck has finished playing around..

But then again he has said many times that the Koreans are waiting, the Indians are waiting, the Chinese are waiting...
