Hostile take-over from who?
I can't see anyone wanting 30% of Havieron other than Newcrest but they would be opening a massive can of worms by going down that route. I think the time has passed for the opportunity for that to happen but even if it did - what would the counter offer from Wyloo be? - they understand the value of the project and wouldn't be prepared to let it go cheap.
We've been hearing about take-overs ever since I've been invested and it's less likely now than any prior time IMO.
It's just the usual, sell-on-news traders and probably a small chunk of short sellers taking advantage of the situation.
Personally I'm not too bothered - record decline development rates, resource still expanding with no edges found, ASX listing on track for H1, EPA mining proposal on track and due to be submitted soon, and while the delay to the FS is frustrating - when it delivers a much bigger and better mining plan with better economics due to the cost saving optimisations then it will be worth the wait, and crucially no change flagged to first ore, first gold and FCF.
All still looking good for 2024 and beyond IMO and that's without any left field news that our new "high-powered" board may generate.
