Do your Australian contacts have any other merger thoughts ?

I think after Delta and Goldfields merge, and Harmony sells their Goldfields stake the merged firm will be vulnerable to a takeover. Placer Dome has not been successful (yet) in an Australian takeover and might be a buyer.

After Normandy is gone, Newcrest will stand out as the largest Australian gold miner and might also be a goner.
Sons of Gwalia has made so much money on tantalum they could probably buy more gold assets after they cherry pick Centaur's carcass ;)

Anyone heard of St. Barbara ? stbarbara.com.au
They just started mining in early 2000 and have produced almost 150,000 in the last 12 months, and has earnings - not bad for an almost unknown firm ! They remind me of New Hampton that started mining in 1999 and soon found themselves acquired by Harmony.

OK, I mentioned ten (10) stocks in this post, comments ???
