I've been looking at both these companies from the "sidelines" for a little while. A similar thought crossed my mind as they've both got a presence in the same area of Newcastle and have a couple of complementary processes "on the go".
Maybe BHP (which has a good stake in APG) could stump up the money for the INL site purchase and "garner" a deal that could get some early cash flow going for both companies.
I don't hold either APG or INL (as yet) so maybe I should mind my own business. I just thought that Papertigger's idea seems to have a great deal of merit.
Regards
Goggo PS Good luck to holders of both companies. You deserve a break for your undoubted patience.
