Regarding potential IGC acquisitions I can't get past thinking the new director's appointment might be linked somehow. This was announced on 24th April - in hindsight IGC had obviously decided by this point they would be keeping the cash - otherwise the appointment would be pretty pointless. Perhaps this new director has identified some potential assets - uranium and oil are mentioned in his bio (below):
Australian platinum exploration company International Goldfields Limited (ASX: IGC) (“IGC” or the Company”) is pleased to announce Mr Mark Gwynne has been appointed as a Director of the Company following the resignation of Mr Michael Povey. Mr Gwynne has been involved in exploration and mining for over 17 years.
