There seems to be a general misunderstanding on this thread.
Management had no say in the Hanlong purchase of the Talbot stake.
Once the Talbot stake was purchased it effectively prevented any other Chinese SOE from competing against Hanlong.
Any body wishing to bid for Sundance would have had too convince Hanlong to part with its shares, as a full takeover could only happen with Hanlongs consent.
A brilliant move by Hanlong, effectively forcing management to "play ball".
As a board they had to try and put a positive spin on this, so they used Hanlong's takeover as a guarantee of funding for the project. This showed both governments that they were making headway and I believe this is largely why the Mbalam convention was signed. Before this we really had nothing.
So the board can mention " interested parties ", but really what's an interested party? If I rocked up to Sundance today and said I'd like to see if I can finance this project, GC would say he had been meeting with an "interested party" (not sure how far $10,oo0.oo will get me though).
It was almost like, the Chinese mafia controlled, Hanlong knew that the plane crash was going to happen, and positioned themselves to buy the Talbot stake as soon as it was available.
No doubt Hanlong had us bent over, and were giving us a jolly good rogering, but at the end of the day it was a brilliant corporate move on their behalf, however as it fell through it's turned a once Billion dollar company, into a penny dreadful, with a market cap of less than 10% of what it once was.

Pre Hanlong they had signed two MOU's with Chinese companies. That sent sp too 70c . Thus Hanlong had too offer 50c plus.

I suspect these two interested parties may of had the friends in high places Hanlong did not, thus Hanlong was being forced too allow them back in on generous terms before full funding was finalised? Hanlong played hard ball and lost?
