firb approval, page-2

Nonsense....Chinalco bid made on OZ before FIRB approval.....and dozens of other recent examples...they won't be holding off on an announcement for months for that. This one is much lower risk too. Almost like they saying don't announce before ACCC approval - no-one ever waits for Govt approvals before announcing given how unpredictable they are with their timelines.

This is just lawyers exchanging documents..always takes a few weeks to get the wording agreed, signatures etc..deal will be announced within a fortnight.

People just need patience....amazing how many people on here are carrying on about timing. If you can't be patient sell out and buy something else and stop whinging!
