+$170m rev pa for $400m - No Thanks, page-45

Need to ask the question guys and i hope someone can help,,

Regarding the drills planned for next year and 3D seismic, obviously for MIN to steal NWE from us then they would want this deal to happen before any more good results come out, so could they put the handbrake on and stall with getting a drill rig and prolong any 3D seismics from happening?

Hopefully when the offer gets rejected and MIN come back with a slightly improved offer that also gets rejected, what happens next?
I have aAlways been concerned that MIN will show its teeth at some stage and just wondering how they can make life difficult and force a low ball offer over the line, is NWE strong enough to reject and soldier on?

Thanks in advance
