are hanlong going to announce partner, page-30

Westcott,

yes its a two year wait...im not disputing that

Again it was conditional...upon of many things COngo...when did we get that? Only 10 weeks ago

You may say our problems arise 2 years ago...

Since Hanlong entering

+ve's

Stock traded 50c+ on volume (it was low 30's pre bid and going down)
Conventions and Approvals
Upgrade Resources
Placing 35c
Data Room Open
Interest from CHina

again...if 2 years ago we did not go down the Hanlong path..its my opinion that the stock is trading alot lower today, and in doubt are african approvals..

2 years ago when the baord did the deal, i am sure they would not have hoped it would haev been so long..but it is

I am sure the BHP board wish they could review Petrohawk
I am sure the RIO board wish they could review Alcan order
I am sure the ANZ and NAB boards wish they could review some of their overseas businesss and loan books

we can go on and on...it is what it is...i think all we want now is the 45c deal to complete...we dont want to rely on EWO buying stock at 15c and China walking
