Griffin - zinc and gold producer

"the Chinese allowed Griffin to increase their percentage of the project for the first few years. Why was this?"

IMO - GFM were setting a president as the first Foreign Built mine in China, they were the first to receive a foreign exploration license and to my mind the
Chinese would have been fully aware of the potential demand for raw materials and the need for outside expertise, why this break happened for GFM I am not entirely sure.

Is there anything sinister in this lack of news?
Not IMO, but who knows !!!!
