xstrata becomes major shareholder, page-9

I agree, these options need to put be away and then the stock could move.Only a few weeks left on that front. Insto's would sit back and wait and see what comes out. It is the best time to get the largest volume of cheapest stock. I also think some option holders would be happy to pay up and hold given what has been achieved this year. The ongoing option holders that have been paying up during the year have probably already sold.
I personally think that Vale will pay up when it needs to pay up. I have factored that in as a given when the due date hits. AVB should end up with several mine sites, more discoveries and possibly even more acqusitions before the fat lady sings. There is miles of deeper potential on all these current assets and they remain open on strike and at depth. The grade looks higher than the surrounding deposits as well. I mentioned before that i thought AVB would end up with over 1m tons of contained copper and grow from that. we are already nearly half way there and we have still only scratched the surface.It's cheap imo. dyor.
