Thanks for clarifying.  Not sure what "fear" my posts are illiciting.  Just expressing my personal opinion.  Don't suggest I have any more insight than anyone else.  Been around since 2010 and the reality is we don't have a mine or any clear or solid indication there will be one with best case scenario still 5-7 years. So I see this current round of interest simply an attempt by both to acquire the claims to the resources. Wyloo at least was clear it wanted to go private and as yet there is no definitive plan being offered by BHP just platitudes.  Third party?  Not sure why they wouldn't have made an offer at the time of request for solicitations. They may have turned out to be the higher bidder and actually been the one selected.

I'm holding as well.  Still have until November to decide.  Have seen opinion from an Aussie analyst that Wyloo will probably hold as it would be a substantial shareholder should BHP succeed.  That seems to imply the prospect of an entity rising from the ashes here that may bode well for shareholders who do not sell their shares.  Lots of what ifs here.  Seems we've been down this road before (Cliffs).  As mentioned previously I also hold KWG which might come into play after this is all resolved.

Good luck to all.
