IR have clarified today with regards to this issue19 Oct 2019 14:45
See below for post from blueshare site where a PI contacted IR today and they confirmed that it is most defiantly not taking the company private, IR stated the following today:
"the Daily Mail article was 'not an absolute true reflection of what was discussed in the media interview, this, and several other (media) interviews that Mr Fraser has given have been taken completely out of context and to provoke public interest.
There is NO intention to take Sirius Minerals private, our focus is to complete the Strategic Review and unlocking the value of our Project for shareholders, our community, and the UK as a whole".
So there you have it from the horses mouth, should be a very interesting week next week, nice exposure for us today anyway, I suspected that it was typical press fun and games but always good that the company have come out so quickly to quash any negatively with regards to going private. Looking good now for a very special couple of weeks sp wise.
