I'm still thinking it could be the attempt at an acqusition of a high class commodities broker which would take SRT in the direction of a Natural Resource funding and technical financial expertise hub for explorers and producers. MMc had hinted at this in a recent interview more or less. Another thought is that part of the reason SRT chose the ASX listing as vital is that any company being acquired by SRT is not Australian and hungry to have access to the ASX world of mining organisations as a new client base. It would also make sense that such a positive deal would explain the length of time it's taken.

In my view such a deal would lay the foundation stone to a broader 'miners' merchant bank' type of business with a trading arm still in place. Then build the business and create liquidity in the share price, helped by hopefully rising commodity prices, increasing royalties and the chances of discoveries by CBE and/or CBE being bought out by a hungry Chinese company.

My trying to piece snippets together so purely speculative at this stage.
