"The existing project owners of Nyakafuru and Simba have elected to accept the majority of the acquisition payments in shares due to their desire to be a part of the broader Caracal Gold Group and see significant value in the shares as both projects are advanced towards production."
Why do the existing owners want majority of payment in shares? Because they know that there is huge exploration potential still to be uncovered - high grades at low depths - and the Caracal as have demonstrated, can raise capital in difficult market conditions, to provide the working capital to unlock the potential, harnessing the expertise of the management team and synergies and cost savings that can be captured in the process. This is really becoming a text book expansion for expansion and growth alongside existing cash generating activities.
Love it!
