@Hollamatronic - it's not "the rest" - Scally isn't included as part of this JV, for example. I'm sure that these JVs, as well as massively de-risking these 3 locations, will deliver significant shareholder value. Also, at this stage, we don't know how these deals fit in the context of GGP's wider business plan... yet. As others have suggested, there may be some quid pro quo ahead of future JV announcements.
At a very, very high level, if we hit another Tier 1 Newcrest will dig, transport and process ore, extract the minerals and make a tidy profit, with all the associated ongoing Capex etc. GGP will take 25% profit by owning and sharing the licences etc. but without that considerable ongoing Capex - just by sitting on hands waiting for the cash to roll in. That will open up considerably more options for our other exploration sites.
