I have very little knowledge of US investment criteria and strategy... Man being Aust company and GLN Sth American..is there any advantage of an Aust company over Sth American when it comes to US investments ?????.. Being a little cynical, I was wondering why MAN could take up all those leases that are "ORGANIC " whilst all the companies in the US did not ?????... Just saying , if all those leases were available for basically naught, why were they available and waiting for little MAN???? What is obvious MAN had arranged the deal with GLN prior to taking over the leases, which implies a future deal one would think... Maybe it's all about access to US government funding ????? In short this is the basis of the story they spun to larger investors in whatever configuration they did it in..... Hopefully it does the job for all of us that need to guess what's happening
