Thanks, Mickey
Been reading the 5% Conudrum thread and all a bit grey, but is it?, Just hope GGP were not to desperate at the time of signing up with NCM :O)
'The Havieron Project is operated by Newcrest and under the terms of the Farm-in Agreement which commenced in May 2019,
Newcrest can earn up to a 70% joint venture interest through the expenditure of US$65 million and the completion of a Pre-
Feasibility Study over a six year period. At the end of the farm-in period, (May 2024 ?) Newcrest may acquire an additional 5% interest at fair market value.'
To me in my simplistic way of thinking , the above statement infers, it is most likely that a decision unless agreed by both parties to bring forward as such , will NOT be agreed before May 2024, and so by which time the 5% of the whole of the Havieron gold and copper asset value will be worth considerably more than it is today will be evaluated.
One would have to see the nitty gritty details of such an agreement to make a valid conclusion etc. Obviously both parties require sufficient time as others and Hydro have already pointed out since it will take some considerable time and much further drilling to arrive at the value of Havieron resources/reserves in order to arrive at a FMV at the appropriate time that will require a third party / JORC valuation? IMHO.
