You'd have to ask why they would spend the money when they aren't even spending money on their own turf other than to get permitting done and other mining start issues. Purchasing back a property only to have to continue with exploration to say nothing of Fs etc. would seem out of keeping with their strict focus on bringing the Ni/PGE mine and later Cr into fruition. We don't even know what their infrastructure committments might be. It would seem more than likely that they'd wait to receive some royalties at someone elses expense if it even "pans" out. To me it it would be out of character for NOT to buy it back when they sold it pretty much knowing what was there to begin with. After all they had more knowledge about it than those of us with our noses pressed up against the glass.
