Hi Westcott,

Appreciate your thoughts on the possibility of a Core/Xstrata/Glencore JV/merger/takeover. I have also heard whispers along those lines.
Would certainly seem to fit strategically with Glencore.

Whatever the outcome I'm comfortable that GJ & Co have strived tirelessly to achieve the best possible result for all SH.

Hopefully there will be developments, in the next couple of trading days, concrete enough to warrant a company announcement.

Cheers,

Samson
