Hi All

A spot of "googling" has revealed that PALA Investments has had a busy November: it's taken a major stake and board position in a company callled Nevada Copper: see details of announcement below.

A few positive indications from this IMO:

- Indicative of a general long-term, deeply involved investment approach (almost private equity like) - its not just a slogan, its actually what they do;

- The fact that they were willing to increase their stake in WDS while this deal was on the go (or after it was consumated) is indicative that they are serious about their involvement with, and have some focus on, WDS.

Note that Nevada Copper's sp appears to have reacted very favrouably:
