RE: Share price in 18 months time12 Feb 2024 16:28
My thoughts on this comment and all are my opinions:
- RIO are not interesting in gold ... look at their website, gold is not a commodity listed. Yes copper is but our 30% of Havieron is hardly moving the needle for RIO https://www.riotinto.com/
- RIO are not interested in a 30% JV with Newmont as RIO is a major and will not be a junior partner to Newmont.
- If Newmont makes a massive bid for our 30% then it also means their 70% is worth a massive number, and it may make their own share price move up for an asset currently undervalued by the market
"I personally think that Newmont have a tricky decision to make if they think they can easily buy out our 30% of Hav. Pitch it too low and not just the fact that hopefully we will be able to reject it, but also they may open the floodgates to counter bids from elsewhere (Rio for one?) I am in the camp that just hopes the JV Partnership moves forward at pace and little GGP morphs from just an explorer but into a full blown JV Partner mining outfit, on the biggest Gold/Copper find in decades. Just my opinion."
