Sorry just found another article which goes with my first theory of a write down. What I find strange is the write down is a book value adjustment, why would they halt a stock for 7 business days to do that? Also why wouldn't they state the reason for the halt (e.g. reviewing carrying value or considering sell options pending a valuation review)
"Gindalbie Metals has suspended trading of its shares ahead of the likely announcement of a substantial writedown in the value of its troubled Karara magnetite mine."
