Alastair Clayton, Executive Director, commented on the Agreement announced this morning: "We believe this US$65m farm-in agreement with Newcrest is an incredible result for Greatland and by default Primorus shareholders. Our investment mandate is to identify, risk assess and then invest early in opportunities where others may seek to wait. We believe today's announcement is a vindication of that strategy and will prove to be transformational for Greatland and value accretive for Primorus."
"We note the deal includes the contemplation of using Newcrest's existing Telfer Mine as a toll-treat facility to support any future mining opportunities at Havieron, potentially reducing any future large capital expenditure requirements and the many years needed to permit and build a commercial mine.
"In short this farm-in has, in my opinion, the potential to open up the entire Havieron region to commercial mining in a time frame and cost that stand-alone operations could never compete with."
He added: "I am immensely pleased that we have been to provide our shareholders with exposure to what we believe is an excellent opportunity. We will continue to hold our shares in Greatland and, funds permitting, add to our position in the future as we believe they remain hugely undervalued".
He thinks they are undervalued at 1.71 so today’s share price must be a bargain!
