Pommy are you still with us?
What are yr thought on GLA now that Rio Timto has take an interest in the Canadian "Pebbles" field? Also (perhaps) you were right - the Shambhala has turned into a Shambale.....costing GLA about 50m write-down I think was reported. Sounds like a little careless to invest in something at the Owner's valuation....wouldn't you expect there to be a claw-back clause so the money would only be paid (with interest at base-rate), once the mine was profitable...etc.? That's what I'd expect...otherwise GLA could be buying a field of sand...or worse a field of very hard rocks.
It would be interesting to know what "deal" was struck by Rio Tinto....can't imagine they'd fall a simple trick....so that looks like the Canadian field has some value - Q, is - is it worth 11p/share to us?
All IMHO.
