"Havent noticed BHP in halt ...imo .... but good luck anyway ;-)"

Have you ever heard of the term "nuking the fridge"?

So you think it is credible to suggest that BHP goes into a trading halt every time it signs up the beginnings of a farm-in for some exploration? Mate I think you just nuked your fridge. lol

When was the last time BHP went into a trading halt?

Not in the last 4 months that I can see: including not when they announced that their Rio bid was being killed: not when they announced they were closing Ravensthorpe. And you have the chutzpah to suggest that they would do that - what, on all the exchanges they are traded on or just the ASX - for a farm in?

Seeing we cannot trade OEL at the moment why bother speculating on what is happening with the farm-out? To state the blindingly obvious, we will know soon enough.
