The obvious ones, there aren't too many similarities between us and GGP, but it's worth having a look at the finance package they've put together for the acquisition of Newmont's stake and the purchase of Telfer.
If nothing else, it confirms the increased M&A activity as well as proving there is both equity and debt interest in the sector.
Having sold my shares in 2020, I'm not a shareholder, so I don't have an opinion as to whether this is a good deal or not - there seems to be a mixed response on their bb. But what it does do is to reinforce my view that I have absolutely no wish for our board to attempt to take this to production - that level of dilution would be awful. Yes, yes, I know, we'd fund ours by copper royalty deals etc, but SC has stated equity would be required and in my opinion we would need a lot of it.
Take note SC, deliver the turnkey and let's get the hell out of here.
