it has to be more than debt refinancing

Seems to many other factors in this saga.

Sure the debt rollover is a major thing, but suddenly yoiu get someone taking a 6.89% stake in the company, BHP dropping the rio deal and rumours that 2 potential people are looking to buy in.

do others think there is more behind this,I am sure the asx knows more as well.

you would think in suspension they could declare what is happening (unless totally confidential) becasue it has no effect on the share price.
