AQA has 50% of the West Pilbara Iron Ore project (WPIOP) and POSCO and U.S. based investor AMCI also have stakes.

China's Baosteel Faces Potential Rival for Australian Miner Aquila - 11 Jun 14
http://www.nasdaq.com/article/china...r-aquila--update-20140611-00095#ixzz34ScEW98W
The article mentions - "...whether Mineral Resources is planning its own takeover move on Aquila with an as-yet-undisclosed ally." Which I am sure some of us wondered yesterday.
Baosteel had Revenue US$ 21.7 billion (2009) -
Profit 2012 ~US$1.6Bn - not so vast

Then little IOH has market cap $0.15Bill - but IOH has permits for road freight to Cape Preston East Port at Buckland.
So a question might be what value to AQA and the WPIOP could there be in using IOH freight route on a toll basis while they organize the rail freight they plan on.

MIN has certainly stepped into the big-boys ring.
94c for IOH looks a trifle parsimonious. - IMHO
