Haulage contractor McAleese has extended the voluntary suspension of its shares as it continues talks with its troubled client, Atlas Iron.

McAleese says it is in talks with Atlas about a range of possible scenarios under which it can continue to provide haulage and ancillary services to the iron ore miner.

It expects the voluntary suspension of its shares will remain in place for up to five more business days as it assesses the financial impact of any agreements with Atlas.
