"1.Separation of south clermont from the rest of the company
"

I think this just means the Linchpin investors are interested in this particular thermal coal asset and not the rest of the company. Take a look at the map at the sheer size of South Clermont EPC 2011 compared to Blair Athol and Clermont mines.



"2. Lack of info on the RIO JV.... WHY!!!"

The details of the JV with RIO are not public. Any news release must go through RIO's London office. AQC is restricted in what it can say. The agreement will run it's course and if RIO exercises it's call option we will know about it then. It is public information that RIO is expanding the Hail Creek mine.
