Funny how we are all doing this now AFTER buying in
That's all I've found too, at the end of the day doesn't really matter who it is provided GMC can satisfy the ASX queries.
Hard to know what's occured in the background but I'm somewhat annoyed mind you about this move by the ASX. The problem the ASX has been combating in the past is the announcement of
unnamed parties. So you have absolutely nothing to do DD on. In this case they have, but he's elusive, so what? that's the sort of uncertainty that the market should be allowed to price in. If it were RIO ponying up then the SP would be (likely) much higher now.
