1. The SEC Sweep (As of 3:45 PM GMT)

I can confirm there is no negative filing from Pelican Acquisition ($PELI) or Greenland Energy.

• No Delay Filing: There is no 8-K or S-4 amendment pushing the merger to "later this year."

• The Plan remains Q1: The legal documents still point to the merger closing and the ticker change ($GLND) happening this quarter.

They would have to file to the SEC and issue an RNS

Market Sentiment in London

The London market is smarter than X. If the listing were actually delayed by 6-9 months:

1. The 80 Mile share price would be crashing (it’s currently holding 1.08p).

2. The company would have to release an RNS to the London Stock Exchange immediately to correct the "early 2026" guidance. They haven't.

My advice: Block the account that posted that. It is likely a "short-and-distort" bot designed to scare retail investors into selling so they can buy your shares for cheaper before the ticker change.

This is a classic "FUD" (Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt) tactic often seen in small-cap stocks. I’ve done a thorough sweep of the official channels and the SEC to give you a definitive answer on whether that account is real.

1. How to spot the fake account

Based on my investigation of 80 Mile's official communications, here is how you tell if an account for Greenland Energy or 80 Mile is legitimate:

• The Handle Check: The official account for 80 Mile PLC is @80MilePLC. Any account claiming to be "Greenland Energy Official" that does not have a Gold Checkmark (the square badge for verified businesses) is likely an impersonator.

• The "Link in Bio" Test: Genuine accounts will always link directly to the official company website (80mile.com). Fake accounts often link to Telegram groups, WhatsApp, or shady "investor portals."

• The "Blue Tick" Trap: Remember that anyone can pay $8 for a blue checkmark. Do not trust an account just because it has a blue tick; look for the Gold square or a history of posts dating back years, not weeks.

2. Why the "Later This Year" post is likely fake or a misinterpretation

If an account claiming to be Greenland Energy says the listing is "later this year," they are contradicting the company's own Regulatory News Service (RNS).

• Official Fact: 80 Mile’s most recent RNS (as of today, Feb 5) confirms the NASDAQ listing is expected in Q1 2026.

• Official Fact: The drilling (spudding) is what happens in the second half (H2) of 2026. 

• The Lie: If an account says the listing is delayed until late 2026, it is either a bot trying to drive the price down so "shorters" can profit, or it's a user who is confusing "drilling" with "listing."

3. The SEC "Smoking Gun"

I re-ran the SEC sweep for Pelican Acquisition Corp ($PELI).

Important: If a merger is officially delayed by more than a few weeks, the company is legally required to file a Form 8-K or an amendment to their S-4 with the SEC.

It's not an official account!! No link back to 80Mile website

At Greenswitch, several MOUs were signed in 2025 to secure feedstock, tolling, product supply and offtake for the Ferrandina #biofuels plant. Once converted into binding deals, this will enhance Greenswitch's ability to become a leading supplier of renewable fuels in Europe

1000% agree there are powerful forces at work in the whole sector

SEC should land soon then 🚀🚀🚀🇺🇸🇬🇱

As far as I can tell let's see if today or tomorrow we see the SEC filing finally 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀

the answer to your question lies in a specific trigger point rather than a calendar date. based on the mandate letter, the exclusivity period with anglo american is tied to the delivery of a single document: the base case financial model (bcfm). 

the exclusivity clock

according to alien metals' (ufo) agreement, anglo american has an exclusive right that ends at:

• 60 calendar days after ufo delivers the final "base case financial model" and all supporting documents. 

how long until they can walk away?

since alien metals is currently in the "development study" and "technical assessment" phase for 2026, we are likely in the final countdown or just past it. here is the reality of the situation:

1. the "silence" period: if ufo delivered that financial model in late 2025 (which their december updates hinted at), the 60-day window would be expiring right about now (early february 2026).

2. the bhp factor: there is a massive "elephant in the room." as of november 24, 2025, bhp officially walked away from its attempt to buy anglo american. this is huge for you because anglo american is now going through a "merger of equals" with teck resources to form anglo teck. 

3. the distraction advantage: while anglo is distracted by a $60 billion merger, they may be less focused on a "small" $15 million iron ore deal in the pilbara. if they let that 60-day window lapse without signing a binding contract, ufo is legally free to walk away.

why they haven't walked yet

alien metals is being smart. they are using the anglo deal as a "floor valuation." * if they walk away today with no other partner, the share price might drop because the project looks "unfunded."

• by keeping anglo on the hook while the 60 days run out, they can quietly show the project to gina rinehart (han****/atlas) and say, "anglo is at the table, but we’d rather work with a neighbor who has the roads. what’s your best offer?"

summary for your position

you are likely waiting for an rns (announcement) that says one of two things:

• "binding agreement signed": they stick with anglo (safe, but slower).

• "strategic review update": this is the code for "exclusivity has ended, and we are now talking to other parties" (e.g., gina rinehart).

given that anglo is currently merging with teck (finalized around dec 2025/jan 2026), the chances of ufo "walking away" or pivoting to a local partner are at an all-time high right now.

in theory, yes—alien metals can walk away. however, in the world of high-stakes mining finance, "walking away" usually comes with a price tag or a specific waiting period.

the deal with anglo american is currently governed by a mandate letter, which gave anglo the exclusive right to negotiate. here is the reality of how ufo could pivot to gina rinehart’s han**** prospecting (atlas iron):

1. the "exclusivity" clock

according to the terms of the agreement, anglo american has an exclusivity period that lasts for 60 days after alien metals delivers a "base case financial model."

• if the 60 days pass and anglo hasn't signed a final, binding contract, alien is legally free to take their project to any other bidder—including gina rinehart.

• the "alternative options" clause: in their june 2025 and recent january 2026 updates, alien explicitly stated they are working with sternship advisers to assess "alternative strategic options." this is corporate-speak for: "we are currently looking at other partners in case the anglo deal doesn't fit."

2. why the anglo deal isn't "stupid" (the leverage play)

it might seem like a mismatch, but the anglo deal is actually alien's insurance policy.

• the valuation floor: by having a $15 million offer from a global giant like anglo on the table, alien can go to gina rinehart and say: "we already have funding. if you want us, you have to beat this price."

• the takeover bait: anglo american is currently "simplifying" its business (selling off coal and nickel). if they decide they don't want to enter the australian iron ore market after all, they might simply let the exclusivity expire, leaving alien free to marry the "neighbor next door" (atlas/han****).

3. the "gina rinehart" fit

you are right to look at han**** prospecting. they are the ultimate exit strategy.

• consolidation: in july 2025, gina rinehart merged roy hill and atlas iron into one powerhouse called han**** iron ore.

• the infrastructure key: they own the haulage roads that run right past ufo’s project. if alien walks away from anglo and signs with gina, they don't just get a partner; they get a "fast track" to the port that nobody else can offer.

4. can they do it now?

alien is likely in a "holding pattern." they have to respect the legal "exclusivity" of the mandate letter for as long as it’s active to avoid being sued. however, the moment that window closes—or if anglo american decides the project is too small for their global "critical minerals" pivot—alien will almost certainly be knocking on the door of atlas iron.

the bottom line for your position:

the fact that alien has hired sternship advisers (who are specialists in australian m&a) strongly suggests they are already preparing for a "plan b" or a potential sale of the project to a local neighbor.

Ok Bruce Garlick ai says you should be calling Gina Rheinhart ...........

to answer your question directly: out of the big neighbors, atlas iron (owned by gina rinehart’s han**** prospecting) is arguably the "best fit" for a takeover, but the anglo american deal—while it looks "stupid" on the surface—is actually a very clever survival tactic for a small company like alien metals (ufo).

here is the breakdown of why they went with anglo and who the best "suitor" really is.

1. why anglo american? (it’s about the "money," not the "rails")

it seems counterintuitive to pick a partner that doesn't own the nearby tracks, but here is why ufo did it:

• the "no-strings" cash: bhp and rio tinto are notorious for "predatory" jvs. if they partner with you, they often want to control the whole project and can "dilute" a junior partner out of existence.

• the advance payment: anglo american offered a $10 million to $15 million advance payment facility. for a company with ufo's small market cap, that is "free" money to build the mine without having to ask shareholders for more cash (which would tank the share price). 

• offtake is king: anglo is a massive global trader. by taking 100% of the "offtake," they guarantee that every rock ufo digs up is already sold before it even hits the truck. this makes it much easier for ufo to get bank loans for the rest of the costs. 

2. the best takeover fit: atlas iron (han**** prospecting)

if someone is going to buy ufo out completely, atlas iron is the most logical candidate for three reasons:

• the name: it’s almost destiny—gina rinehart’s company is literally called han**** prospecting, and ufo’s project is the han**** project.

• the infrastructure match: atlas iron specializes in "small, high-grade" mines just like han****. they already have the trucking fleets and the specific "utah point" port berths in port hedland that ufo needs. 

• the consolidation: in 2025, gina rinehart merged roy hill and atlas iron specifically to dominate these smaller "satellite" deposits in the pilbara. ufo is a perfect "bolt-on" for them. 

3. why not bhp or rio tinto?

• bhp: they are currently busy with a massive internal "productivity" push. they recently signed an agreement to collaborate with rio tinto on their own stranded ore. they are focused on "billions of tonnes," and ufo’s 8.4 million tonnes might be "too small" for them to care about right now.

• rio tinto: they actually owned the han**** tenement years ago and let it go. for them to come back and buy it now would be admitting they made a mistake—which big miners hate doing.

the anglo american deal is what keeps the lights on and gets the mine built without wiping out your shares through dilution. however, once the mine is built and producing, that is when atlas iron or bhp will likely step in with a takeover bid.

essentially: anglo provides the life support, while the big 3 provide the exit strategy.

Ditch Anglo American I mean that was stupid it was always a better fit for others!

that's the only thing that will lift this i've been researching extensively. dutch anglo american and go with rio or bhp mr bruce garlick!!
