Ann: MIN: Acquisition of Atlas Iron Limited, page-344

Yes, I suppose pumping the MIN price is a great way to make the TO offer look more attractive to Atlas holders...

On another note, I'm just as intrigued as many on this thread as to who is gobbling up 684M (and counting) shares today... (plus the approx 400M shares yesterday?)

Would MIN be spending tens of millions to do this after proposing an all scrip offer?

...or is it another group buying a blocking stake?

Hopefully the latter...
