Rotherby in my opinion you may be missing the point of FMV. Yes they could buy 5% now at open market prices but if they buy under the ‘right to buy at FMV’ clause, then FMV will take into consideration real value of resource as opposed to purely the SP. However, if you are saying they could get to 70% without using this clause, then I agree. Having been in senior positions in very big corporates my personal view is that they will want 100% as JV’s are complicated and expensive to run and of course they want to lock-in all the long-term profits.
