Hardman to be prey for Woodside? 10/2/04 from egoli

A senior dealer said this morning that there was an outside chance that Woodside might be considering bid for offshore Mauritania partner Hardman Resources before development funds need to be found. "It makes a little bit of sense, Woodside is in the money now after being out of the money for so long," the dealer added. Shares in Woodside shed 5c to $14.41, while Hardman Resources ran to a new high of $1.34.
