Caledon Resources plc (ASX:CCD), the AIM and ASX listed Australian coking coal producer, is currently in discussions with a number of parties about a variety of potential transactions, some of which may or may not lead to an offer for Caledon’s entire issued and to be issued share capital.
The discussions are at a very early stage and, consequently, there is no certainty as to the terms and structure of any such transaction nor that an agreement will be reached between Company and any of the parties. Shareholders are advised to take no action at this time. Any further announcement will be made as appropriate.
Analysts indicated that Caledon's major shareholder, Polo Resources which owns 26.3% of Caledon would have a signifant "say in any takeover, and the future of Caledon".

However, Caledon's coking coal assets may be of interest to a number of parties at current prices.
