Ann: Trading Halt, page-8

I believed Aurelia Metals may have been working on this deal. They would have been a worthy contender. This must have a lot of Asian money behind it. Aeris have proven themselves to be determined copper producers. However, Tritton is a very simple plant and has held the company together through very hard times. CSA will either be a stratospheric acquisition opportunity or create difficulties for a small company to digest. Nyngan and Cobar are two longstanding competitive towns. It will be interesting to see how they integrate. Workforce integration into one company may prove an insight into the benefits of this deal. Come what may, IMO copper is going to be a boom commodity in future years.

Good luck Aeris. I always wanted to be a part owner of the Cornish, Scottish & Australian copper mine.
