The media would never let the truth get in the way of a good story. From their POV Ding represents a consortium of Chinese companies that can deliver the project from start to finish. So i would presume thats why its report this way.

I would not be worried about dilution at this point in the process. If it is an IPO this will be irrelevant once listed. There will be some big Chinese players ready to invest when this occurs.

And if it is a TO SH will need to vote on the offer being put forward. As others members have stated Ding has not put in 4-5 years worth of work and capital to fetch a moderate offer for himself and SH.

This play is a 25 year plan for ANS and its consortium, China and DRC/Cameroon . The next 12 months will revel all for ANS but I am very confident Ding will deliver a killer blow for us all!
