A takeover offer for Marathon Resources has been extended again, despite being more than $3 below the current share price.
The Marathon board rejected the $33.4 million offer from Crosby Capital Partners in September last year saying it was "totally inadequate".
Marathon is now worth $170.8 million.
But in extending the bid on behalf of Crosby, representative Buttermere Australia said yesterday it realised its 68c-a-share bid was well out of the money.
Marathon's flagship asset is its Mt Gee uranium project in the state's Far North.
Fat Prophets recently rated Marathon Resources a "buy", despite the Adelaide-based uranium explorer tripling in value in recent months.
Fat Prophets resources analyst Gavin Wendt said the two things that set Marathon apart were the location of its main project in uranium mining-friendly South Australia and the fact that it has a large, identified uranium resource.
Mr Wendt recommended Marathon as a "buy" at about $2.80, compared with yesterday's $3.82.
The offer will now close on May 4.
