Don't know where "African Thunder" came from. The prospective purchasers are Great Lakes Capital Management Inc. whose subsidiary GMDP manages the mining aspects. To quote From Great Lakes web page:
"GMDP acquires and develops advanced stage mineral resource assets and creates value by developing them towards full commercial production. Since 2001, the Managing Partners, as principals of F&M and Aberdeen, have invested in, managed and exited, or are currently managing 45 legacy assets"
I would suggest that this lot is a far better bet than JBL but because of all the stuffing around we're unlikely to get any benefit from the acquisition.
