RE: 2022/23 NCM Full Year Results11 Aug 2023 02:27
Here are my thoughts:
1. NEM/NCM are to all intents and purposes one and the same given their combined / co joined history, just research it so no surprises there.
2. So, if NEM really are intending to say delay a DTM or FS to weaken GGP, (who knows I don't, just surmising) don't forget that there is a Sunset clause in the JV agreement that should NCM decide not to mine for whatever reason, then we as GGP, can subject to agreement on the purchase price of the 70% NCM share of Havieron, take over the DTM and move forward.
3. Next thought, would Telfer be up for sale? I would have thought so given it's age and potentially very large costs associated with decommisioning etc. If it isn't then what? Build our own plant?
4.So, how do we afford such a move? My best guess would be a combination perhaps of a Wyloo/Rio involvement and Asx placing?
5. The thing is that NEM /NCM cannot freeze us out forever if that is their current game plan.
We own 30% so it's up to them on how they wish to proceed, they know we are sat on a 'World Class Asset'
Best see what SD has to say as I'm sure he will have a lot to say after tonights NCM release IMHO.
