With no strings attached...A seamless transition from the "Old Noront" to the "New Noront". Is this Forrest's gift to us shareholders? Or Is this too good to be true? I kinda have to pinch myself here. But, again, it presents as the strongest and most tempting offer thus far. That is until the fine print shows different.

As I have said before, BHP will have a hard time beating such an offer when the shareholders already know what lies beneath the ground in the Ring of Fire, and what lies in wait of a well positioned drill hole. For we all know there are more treasures to be found. 

Will BHP be able to offer the same as Wyloo? Hmmmm... The only counter IMO would be cash and the promise of a conitinuation with a "New Noront" under BHP control to counter Forrest's Wyloo. Talk of small dollars for a buyout in comparison to making so much more by staying the course seems like a no brainer. If this is Forrest's gift to us without strings it will be a hard one to refuse. BHP's gift had best be bigger and better, with an envelope of cash attached.

Thoughts? ...But remember they are listening, so make it good :)
