Liam, really excellent pair of interviews - thank you for your time and effort.
You mention an interesting point, and something that SD has alluded to previously - a raise but *only* to buy something that is either producing or late stage.
This is actually something I've been keen on. I am of the belief that Hav will come on stream as to plan in '24 - we are expanding our footprint in the Paterson on the back of knowing that cashflow will be tremendous down the line. However the niggle is always for me if the project gets pushed out by enough to stall the start of the cashflow, it starts to put pressure on. Having something that is generating a little cash ahead of schedule would be contingency against cash burn, which in my head was what I thought may possibly happen.
When the RIO announement came, it looks like GGP have picked up a high quality project, but it's exporation again. It looks fantastic but it was 'earlier stage' than I was expecting - but on the other hand, it means to take on a project of this scale and future cost, SD's confidence is strong.
Apologies for the jumbled comment I hope it makes some kind of sense I was trying to write quickly...this is going to be an interesting 6 months or so!!!!
