# 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.

Dear Jen,
I shall remember that, but I do plead I was delayed by that business

I shall call you this evening your time. I have just come back from a
district RSL meeting, and am too tired for words. You have a great day,
and we can talk tonight about these corruption issues and other China
matters (including Hanlong Sichuan).
Yours,

CHINA/AUSTRALIA - Hanlong lifts bid for Sundance: report

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.
