Thanks for the link Mihal - it's not necessarily the reliability of the article that comes into question - both would appear reliable. It's the possibility of shifting political sands that is more of a concern.

I'm aware that Botswana is one of, if not the most political stable countries in Africa, having said that, if CIC bought an adjacent site for close to $500M with potentially almost a third less coal that Conti's tenements, then I'd be more than happy to sell a third to be cashed up with still the potential to mine Botswana.

A bird in the hand as it were.
