***, dinka makes a very good point in that ATM OZ can only get 70% of Maslins, The trouble is Paris ATM has little commercial value (as does the rest of IVR) except for YES "Burra" and some great leases. We really have a pittance of cash "in hand". Very soon however our 30% of the BIG M is going to put us on the map and IMO we will have several who will then probably try and gobble us up. That however won't give them the major prize (ie control of Maslins) but a fair start and a nice "foot in the door" with Oz. Oz won't help us defend ourselves from raiders for we are now merely their puppets. They Oz, IMO would however (if necessary) then move quickly to get rid of the thorn in their side.
