GH, I can think of one reason Cliffs may want to proceed with the Appeal. They are, as they state, looking for a buyer for their chromite. How can they find a buyer if they have no way into their Black Thor or Big Daddy deposits? They must have access to secure a buyer and this may be the reason they would want to win this thing, so they have something tangible to sell. Others have stated, they are just trying to slow down KWG to be nasty, but I believe a company like Cliffs that has been around for almost one hundred years, has learned a thing or two about business and this is why I feel, if they proceed with the Appeal, would be the reason for doing so. Just my humble opinion. rj
