New World Resources (NWC AU): Yes, The Board Is Frustrating Kinterra's Bid
Suitors Central Asia Metals (CAML LN) and Kinterra Capital are locked at A$0.062/share bids apiece for copper play New World Resources (NWC AU).
Kinterra has tapped the Takeovers Panel after NWC failed to terminate the CAML placement "despite the relevant condition for the termination of that agreement having been satisfied".
Kinterra's application has merit. Expect the Panel to make orders preventing the placement. Kinterra currently holds 19.3% of shares out and CAML 12.08%.
NWC is illiquid - although volume has been picking up of late. Look away now if this is not your thing.
Central Asia Metals (CAML LN)'s initial A$0.05/share Offer, by way of a Scheme was announced on the 21st May.
I have followed with five insights as Kinterra entered the fray.

Trading through terms at A$0.064/share (as I type).
This stoush has not completely played out.
If illiquid arbs are your bent, get in around here and on weakness. Don't chase it.
