I wonder what they're all talking about?



Having spent some time reviewing Uramin’s and Kalahari’s RNS, I find it curious that Kalahari are taking the opportunity to put their Copper and Gold assets at arm’s length into North River. At the same time:

"Mark Hohnen, Executive Chairman of Kalahari, and Professor Glyn Tonge, non-executive director of Kalahari, will join the board of directors of North River (`the Board') as Chairman and non-executive director respectively."
