Andres & Investment Group Shareholders/non Muppets/YES45c etc...

yes a counter-bid would be very welcomed...the market is telling us at the moment the liklihood of that is low, but lets hope we are all suprised.. hanlong's 15% stake is always a block but the regisiter is still wide open.

Congrats to all suffering shareholders on the Congo news and that the deal with Hanlong will get to the vote soon and then complete..

No Doubt SDL have been better off for Hanlong's involvement.. Without them I wonder where we we be today? no Conventions/Permits and still searching for a partner of sorts...and i would imagine alot lower shareprice.

Whilst many have dished out on Hanlong and yes its been painful, its starting to fall into place.

Great job by the board to manouver a small Australian explorer in-between 2 disorganised African nations and a superpower and still secure us shareholders a +$1.2b sale tag. Imagine if this was Indonesia and we had the projects ripped from us??

Significant effort by the board..This is so not to be underestimated..Please dont go on about the board should now be going to London or NY for financing garbage..theres no-one there who would even see them, they are all holidaying in the Bahamas!!! or that the board should now tell Hanlong to get knicked...that would send us back to square 1...and risk all the hard work thats been done to date..

45c looks done and dusted ( in the absence)

A GOOD result for shareholders

(Good - not the best not the worst but fair)

747 - werent you on holidays?? I thought Merrills on their SDL bonus were taking you on a tour of China
