RE: Minyari Dome increased by 250%2 May 2022 10:51
I feel like if you can’t appreciate how significant the Minyari discovery can be, it’s going to take something out of this world to get you excited about what’s happening at Scallywag and the Juri JV. It is a GGP board granted, and I’ve said for a long time, I was never comfortable with the board making the Havieron comparisons, it really is chalk and cheese. Havieron is next level, that said, if Minyari continues to grow, especially at depth where limited drilling has been successful, they’re also in for a very bright future.
Further dilution & equity raisings of sorts was always on the cards for Antipa, let’s not pretend this is a new factor to contend with, or they’re the only company to meet this road block on the way to production. But to get yourself in that position, you need a strong “proof of product”, and the 2021 drilling campaigns certainly delivered that with a 250% increase. Whether it would ever be an option, it would be interesting to see what Rio would pay for Calibre and Magnun up north (2Moz+). Funds could be used to drive a stand alone operation forward. Or they could be playing hardball with Newcrest, with the idea of always utilising Telfer
It’s GOOD news. The company now have options and will be well placed to generate interest, continue the growth and see what happens. I do believe there are further discoveries to be made yet, on who’s land ? Let’s find out.
