RE: What could SD’s 30% discount cost you if you are a holder of 1m shares..?15 Sep 2024 11:03
Hav has been put back but we still become a producer when we get the keys and it appears that there is still plenty of opportunity for some more life from Telfer perhaps in meantime too as it does come online. We'll see how being cross listed on ASX assists share price stability with the mandated purchases and GDX inclusion too, once all criteria met as potential near term catalysts on top of becoming a producer from day 1.
Also, as much as the placing strategy has been planned to get insto's in and end the age of retail majority the advantage in the deal structure is also what should be a non-dilutive path to get Havieron into production, so minimised pain in that regard. The business proposal is very enticing now for longer term minded insto's and investors so hopefully helps too.
GGP's leadership team (this isn't just Shaun's strategy) have played a blinder from the company perspective, we'll become passengers now to the big boys so make no mistakes about that - but this was always going to happen. This is now a longer term return I feel BUT a less risk free one from LTH perspective - always some push and pull when adjusting risk, a safer path usually means more assured ROI but more moderate timeframe.
A more debt funded deal for Telfer would still have created a lot of future pain in developing Havieron where dilution required perhaps, we'll never know now. They've gone for a more assured outcome - which included lessening retail instability. The scenario is there with the right tailwinds for a quicker climb in MCap however than we might fear.
The deal is going to be voted through and then from that point onwards this will be a company run by the big boys. We just need to accept this and see how things pan out in the first 12 months if we choose to stay invested - to better assess how the team can drive this journey towards becoming a major mining company and thereby bring LTH optimal returns in time.
