Q: Rio Tinto has offered $40 to buy the remainder of the company that they don't already hold, while the market price seems to be holding just above $37 (as I write this), almost a 10% difference. If TRQ rejects this offer, do you think Rio will up their offer for a second time, make a hostile bid, or just walk away? I know very little about the mining industry, and am mainly looking at the numbers - would you buy some TRQ hoping for a capital gain, or just stay away?
Thank-you

Q: I have been watching Turquoise Hill for the few months and it seems to have made good progress in resolving past issues centered around financing. Based on the following factors, how would you rate TRQ as an investment in 2021? Are there other plays you would rate higher for potential returns with less risk?

* Rio Tinto has signed an agreement with Turquoise Hill Resources (TRQ) on an updated financing plan for the $2.3bn underground development of the Oyu Tolgoi copper-gold mine in Mongolia - supposedly the world’s largest new copper-gold mine.
* Their CFO has just been appointed as the new CFO with deep experience in the mines' financing. As a 34% stake holder, the Mongolian government's stake represents an important revenue generator to the Mongolian economy.
* After covid delays, shipping has resumed to China.
* Cooper and gold grades have been upgraded.

Thank you!

Q: I think I see an opportunity in material and mining stocks.
I own FM, HBM and TECK.B.
Could you provide three or four other names that appear have some tailwinds and any headline risk I should be aware of.
Thank you
Kyle
