I would suggest..1 Feb 2019 20:50
After some reflection and research, that unless a very good offer indeed is made for their interest by us, then its not in their interest to accept the current offer.
As the resource gets more valuable, so too will cornerstones share, why would they give it away cheap now just as NM isn't going to give our shares away cheap, when we could be couple of years away from the point were by they have to cough up cash to keep their interest.
So I think the more likely event is that cornerstone will get bought before too long, prob by another 3 rd major who will then also have a stake in Cascabel.
That's when it gets interesting IMO and the big offers for SOLG might start coming in, even by 2 or more of the majors involved. It was suggested some time ago by those with experience that the costs involved in mining this may require a consortium, well that consortium may already be grouping together eg Newcrest and BHP.
IMO it was a shrewd move by NM to put the conditions in place to stop BHP making a hostile bid, and with Newcrest recently going with Cornerstone in a JV I believe, things may start to heat up once the PEA lands and the initial figures are released.
I'm hoping we get a third MRE before the PEA to beef it up further.
As long as we keep our majority stake then its a WIN WIN IMO, who ever gets hold of Cornerstone and their 15% of Cascabel
It would be nice to get 100% ownership at this stage from Cornerstone, but at the end of the day I don't think its a game changer if we don't, as I recall back in the MARL days where I think they had a 30% interest in the asset?
85% will do me if NM doesn't manage to pull off what would be a difficult move to accomplish.
Just musing but its getting interesting :-) which can only be positive for PR and value IMO
