JP, I think you underestimate Mr Masterman. He spun SRON out of PVE and got the IPO on AIM. Now, as CEO of both PVE and SRON, he has brokered the Coro deal from PVE, SOU and SRON, leading to the next phase of development. Mr Masterman creates a plan, then works through it methodically. He did it with Fortescue and is now doing it with WRES and CORO.
He is definitely not concerned that his companies are considered boring, as long as he is creating value. He has set CORO up cheaply and skilfully. Now he brings Mr Parsons in to run the business. Yes, he will bring Continental funds in, but that was always part of the plan, imho.
Anyway, exciting times ahead, I agree. Sara Edmonson says there are acquisitions ‘already on the radar’. I think PXOG will be a prime candidate, since they have a 17% interest in a PVE find in the Selva field, for whic they paid 34% of the drill costs. Expect any acquisitions to be made almost immediately after the CORO vote. Don’t assume they will wait for the CORO listing.
