So what does Hebei think about the deal? Never a good idea to think you can screw your suppliers, pretend you're not interested and then have a big cry when told you've left your run too late. Then again, they probably only wanted the port access after Willsy told them the product is no good.
And don't forget Rockcheck. They reluctantly support the merger but I believe they still want the Balla Balla ore, which is unlikely to find its way out of the ground any time soon if the merger goes ahead. Atlas loves Aurox and Aurox loves Atlas but adolescents can be fickle and true love never ran smooth, especially when other suitors come knocking.
As for Twiggy, well he's hardly Mr Popularity but when money talks, junior mining companies listen. There's no doubt in my mind that he'll be at least considering his options now that AGO has taken its shipping business elsewhere. Those who think nothing else will happen between now and May could well be right but somehow, I doubt it.
