MH01, you are all over this, so many thanks from me for explaining the likely direction of travel. From what I have learned today, I would say that some of the numbers been bandied about regarding the purchase price are way too high. Plus some are not thinking big enough. This is a huge opportunity and one that Shaun has been readying for, pretty much since he joined the company. From a Newmont point of view, this is more like getting rid of an expensive mine, with high costs and an ageing processing plant, plus a potential mine that has a ROLR clause embedded in it. From Shauns point of view its an opportunity to make Telfer efficient (see Northern Star's acquisition of Jundee), use the processing plant to extract cash flow while (possibly) permitting a new plant, and get Havieron in toto and get the production up to 6m tpa. A keen seller and one willing buyer. Looks like its all coming together only as Shaun could have scripted.
IMO!
