Don't be naive DartFrog.
80% of the shares are NOT held by PIs...
If anyone is determined to buy us they will have to pay the right price because there will be ,ore than one suitor and the Bpard won't let this go for a song.
Mather and his interests own almost 300 million shares. In the past he has made it clear that Solgold will not be sold for less than the NPV of Alpala. DC says that is a minimum of 78p.
Given the merger, the people concerned (especially Sangha, Irwin and Mather) I am certain this is being cleverly engineered towards a sale. Sangha owns Maxit; Sandeep Singh, chief of Okritis is ex Maxit. Maxit are advisors to both companies.
I believe it will go like this now that we have no cash worries until DFS is complete (once the CGP 6.7% stake is sold).
Sale of the 6.7% stake to the highest bidder, at a price which will now be significantly higher before today's RNS, probably at least 25p.
That will add momentum to today's move. Remember we were 35p less than 5 months ago and we were 28p in July when the copper price was 15% lower than it is now.
There is then Porvenir and Alpala PFS Addendum news to come and I see no reason why we shouldn't be back at 35p before Christmas.
There are people who have been on here longer than me and I'm at least 8 years.
This is at least the second best new Tier 1 copper asset in the world, even without the huge amount of gold.
The idea that anyone can steal it for a lowball price is preposterous, especially as BHP and NCM's holdings are about to fall to just over 10%.
Noront was 23c before the bidding war between BHP and Wyloo started. BHP lost out and Wyloo paid 110 cents.
The only thing that can stop this going for probably over 100p is a crash in markets in general.
Thats why the Board is getting on with it.
