Re: FAR - First Australian Resources
Based on the timelines in the Shell/FAR agreement, Shell have until, approximately, the end of August to exercise their option. Obviously I don't know anything about the internal approval process for this sort of deal in Shell (board, exec committee, individual), but I'm strongly of the opinion that it is more likely to happen in July than August and certainly quite unlikely in the second half of August. August summer holidays are a religion here and people like to get things done and dusted before then.
