    I reckon this is massive news. Will probably get worked out fairly quickly for a few more 000's on the end of the government bills but could make the market a bit more bullish on IO prices in the short-term. Expectations have been a little bit more subdued lately over next years raw materials prices but if Rio are actually looking at Simandou being delayed by a chunk then people will start doubting whether a iron ore surplus is really waiting for the market in ~2010/2011.

    Might really boost a few more of these smaller guys and as we all agree UMC is near the very top of that list. Or is certainly climbing there fast.

    I wouldn't enjoy be the Rio PR guys cause this is gonna be focused on big time till its sorted out.
