Lets break this down a bit...
Rosa was a one off payment of �250k to acquire 20%
At the time of this deal, subsequent information about SM wasn't available, so no amount of DD would find it, it didn't exist.
Now that RGM might acquire 100% of Rosa, AB has brought in consultants. Huge difference between 20% and 100% ownership, minor shareholder to controlling interest.
The mistake Andrew made, was taking on the other assets before SM had proved himself, he was "warned" about doing this at the time.
Too much, too soon.
But again, had Rosa been kicking off millions of $ profits, RGM wouldn't have had the opp to buy the other assets.
One of the other assets RGM bought in to, has circa 94 million ton reserves of Met coal, bloody huge.
So the opp is still there, we just need the likes of Legacy Hill on board.
