Franalex - let's explore this further because you can bet Odey has. British Han**** Holdings are the secured creditors of York Potash Limited, the company Chris Fraser reversed into Sirius Minerals. At the time he did so they owned the mineral rights required to extract the polyhalite, hence the reason Fraser got the money her did for it. So my guess is that Gina Rinehart secured her debt against York Potash Ltd for that reason. If the company goes into receivership not only does Fraser lose his £6.8m but Anglo American will be left negotiating those rights with the person that they would least like to have to do so with. And in Anglo's words - it's a Tier 1 resource. So on that basis my guess is that Odey is calculating that they will be prepared to pay a little more for it.
