M&A update 26/10/20 RNS stated:
"Discussions have already commenced with third parties with a view to joint venture and earn-in into the newly acquired exploration licences."
What are the newly acquired exploration licences?
Page 25 of Alien’s Presentation refers to the newly acquired projects as Elizabeth Hill & Hamersley:
“newly acquired silver and iron ore projects in Western Australia.”

“Fortescue signs around $US3bn worth of Chinese agreements - Read Below”

“The 12 memoranda of understanding (MoU) are valued at around $US3-4 billion.”
“Fortescue signed an MoU for supply and procurement of its iron ore with long-term partner and major shareholder Hunan Valin Iron & Steel Group Co.”
The Chinese are buying Iron Ore in the billions of dollars for their Belt & Road and construction needs.
RNS 29/10/20 stated Hamersley has, “very high-grade DSO level iron ore in significant volume.”
Since Fortescue ($39B Mkt Cap) is next to us, and they have $US3-4 billion Iron Ore order with the Chinese, I wouldn’t be surprised if they are in discussions with us regarding a JV.
The rough calculations that EWT98 & OTP have done show us the phenomenal SP rise potential with Hamersley alone!
