Now over 1.1 mil through @ .0045/.005 and 1.38 mil through Chi-X last lot @ .005. That's a bit "unusual" for mine given absolutely no news on the real catalyst.
Frankly, IMO, every day that goes by is just one day closer to that announcement i.e. every day is "announcement expected". People are already prepared to pay an extra 25% to get in without any news. Personally, not putting much weight on coal, yet.
Don't forget they also want to sink that deeper hole in NZ??
Lots happening albeit hidden behind the scenes, but, not requiring very much guess work!!!
