# The Global Intelligence Files

On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

You called after my bed-time. I try desperately to get 6 hours and turn
the phone off at 11pm. Not always so, but I try.

Hanlong lifts bid for Sundance: report
Date: Wed, 05 Oct 2011 09:43:06 -0500
We do know that Sundance directors unanimously recommended Hanlong's
57c cash per share offer yesterday, implying a market cap of $A1.65
billion, or a 65.3 percent premium.
The new offer was reportedly contingent on Sundance securing an
agreement with govts of Cameroon and Congo to approve conventions for
the Mbalam project. Govt approvals in these countries were not
expected to come unless Sundance could show it had the necessary
financing - the increased bid has done that - so I'd be surprised if
these govts did not make regulatory approvals now.
Sundance did the right thing by holding out for a higher bid because
we know Hanlong wants to get its hands on the project to try and break
the stranglehold of BHP Billiton, Rio Tinto and Vale. Hanlong chairman
Liu Han told Sichuan Daily that the successful purchase of Sundance
will have a huge impact on Chinese mining and Chinese iron markets.
Liu also said that Hanlong has signed a deal with an unnamed Chinese
construction company to build the rail and port infrastructure for the
Mbalam project, which it said would produce iron ore at a "very
competitive" $US21 a tonne.
Don't forget that there were also insider trading allegations against
Hanlong employees in Oz on Sept 14, although it's starting to look
like this might not be a deal breaker. Getting a read on Oz's foreign
investment review board (FIRB) thinking on this is going to be more
difficult. I will say that FIRB just approved a plan (yesterday) by
Rio Tinto and Japan's Mitsubishi to to basically mop up the remaining
shares in coal miner Coal & Allied that they don't already own. Rio
currently owns 75.5 percent of Coal & Allied, and Mitsubishi 10.2
percent. They've offered $125 a share, valuing the miner at $10.8
billion, minus the special dividend of up to $8 per share proposed by
Coal & Allied. I mention this because sometimes it feels like FIRB
makes approval decisions in waves...

Hanlong lifts bid for Sundance: report
http://www.businessspectator.com.au/bs.nsf/Article/Hanlong-lifts-bid-for-Sundance-report-pd20111003-M9VUK?OpenDocument&src=hp14
Chinese group Hanlong Mining has lifted its takeover offer for
Sundance Resources Ltd, in order to secure an agreement on the
deal from the takeover target, according to a reports by Reuters
Media.
Sources told Reuters that Hanlong has raised its offer from the
50 cents per share bid made in July. The new bid would be
revealed by Tuesday, the sources said.
Hanlong's initial bid valued Sundance at around $1.4 billion.
Earlier this morning, Sundance was placed in a trading halt,
ahead of an announcement on its possible acquisition by Hanlong.
"The company requests an immediate trading halt of its
securities until open of trading on Wednesday 5 October, 2011,
or release of an announcement by the company," Sundance said.
"The reason for the request is to provide an update regarding
the proposal from Hanlong Mining Limited to enter into a Scheme
of Arrangement to acquire 100 per cent of the issued capital of
Sundance Resources Limited."
An announcement would be made to the market prior to open of
trading on Wednesday, the company said.
Hanlong is also looking to take over Bannerman Resources Ltd,
with a $144 million bid.
However, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission
(ASIC) is investigating trades by Hanlong employees in both
Sundance Resources and Bannerman Resources and has obtained
court orders to restrict their travel.
In September, Hanlong Mining said it would stand down its
executives who were being investigated by the corporate watchdog
for suspected insider trading in the Chinese company's takeover
targets.
Sundance shares last traded at 43 cents a share.
