John,

From my PR experience, the PR company consulted to Andrew Hawker of Hawker Geological Services Pty Ltd to put the announcement together.

Andrew Hawker would have been working with the data given to compile it and that would have been sent to PPR for final style and content authoring.

I doubt BHP have vetted it since it was on SGQ letterhead. However, they may have chosen not to include all data in the findings as yet.

Have sent off a request to J. Prineas to clarify a few points, so just waiting his response.

In the meantime, I concur that this is turning out to be a longer term holding than anticipated by many, but it is interesting. I also agree that there may well be some consolidation in the region.
