    For the life of me I cannot understand what possessed the MIN board in believing they could engineer a favourable outcome for themselves by taking a minority stake in AQA.

    All they basically did was give the other AQA shareholders a free option on the upside in the highly unlikely event that Boasteel/AZJ might match or exceed MIN's 375c offer.

    Now that has not eventuated, all MIN is left with is a minority stake in a company about to embark - under the control of its new, big, well-capitalised controlling shareholders - on a significant capital investment program, the funding of which will leave MIN highly diluted and with a five-year wait before they see any return.

    Either that, or MIN also accepts AZJ/Baosteel's 340c cash offer, lose $18m on their investment, and look pretty silly in the process.

    You couldn't write a movie script like this.

    Truly bizarre.
