The holder may also may be going on 'round-the-world cruise' and so would be generally incommunicado etc. Who knows! I don't really care when, how or why etc. It's the size and circumstances that stand out for me. It's a big holder.

I can't imagine an AUROA on-market buyer (nor a shortfaller like you squire) converting at this early stage.

Beans posted the link to the WA newspaper article. That's the 3rd time the co has had a story about it recently, so no harm there - raise the profile, so it's good in fact. Bronwyn Barnes got the main attention though- big pic etc. I'd like to see Wade Evans get the next picture; after all, he is the executive CEO. BB is a non-executive. I hope that the non-execs are letting WE generally run the show - with some guidance of course where they have the relevant experience. Also let Richard Pugh direct the drilling and be in charge of it.
