MF2017,
I disagree that miners don't buy risk. Miners buy whatever is in their interest to do so, whether that is a producing asset, one under construction or at various stages of exploration.
Below is a strategy that most miners adopt, they have to, otherwise in 10 years time they'll have nothing left to mine.
"Continually replenishing and increasing our Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve pipeline helps to sustain the business over time. By discovering, acquiring, developing and exploiting viable orebodies sustainably and efficiently"
As these miners move into billions of dollars of cash on their balance sheets, no debt and very supportive shareholders, the risk to their business of an acquisition is reduced dramatically.
Big acquisitions of gold in Africa is truly underway, Centamin & Allied Gold. Kefi won't be far away.
The question is whether Harry can negotiate a deal in a takeover he supports or whether a hostile bid is received.
I would obviously love to be holding here at production, but even a hostile bid will need to be many multiples of where we are now in order to receive share holder approval.
