Please see S/Tele Share Tips belivies that griffin has had talks with Anglo American & also Ivanho Mines RE: negotations starting @ 50p with management requiring more per share.!!

Just seen the RNS. Good news. There are more opportunities for the newsflow to continue because I had heard that the licence extension area is also being considered by the Chinese.
