bid over $2.00?, page-9

Porker,

I don't know - wish I did. We know for a fact that flow rates have been held back (none reported for almost 3 months). These are fed daily to NS@I.

It is arbitrary when NS&I is asked to certify new reserves by ESG. The last upgrade, to meet ESG's own 2009 target, was signed off on the basis of data to 31/12/2009.

I am guessing that, if ESG believe a bid is due soon, they will get out some news to get the base price up. But, they could throw a spanner in the works by releasing this data after a bid has been made.
