That would potentially be because he had offers, pathetic ones at that, but hey you probably wanted us to do the deal valuing zulu at 5 million.
So lets just take one angle - due diligence on ground. This will require verification of all grades, so paying for samples to be taken again and verified by an independent lab (3 months min) 2d and 3d survey mapping, grid referencing, checking grid reference against government docs, verifying paperwork verifying government papers.
In total thats around 5 months work i expect- thats for each independent company prior to discussing anything else, prior to any potential deal. now factor in this is valued in total over 1 billion - how many holes do you want to verify?
