I'd be pleased to see a deal with the Chinese so long as the terms are reasonable, ideally they give us a loan big enough to get into production in return for selling them all the production at world market price when it comes out of the ground...you might say I'm dreaming here but that's what they've (the Chinese, not MF) done for other resources and they need a lot of gold for both jewellery and monetary purposes.
Nobody messes with China these days and they've got all the cash Webb could ever need.
