Johnny,
yes, they need to start drilling soon. If Newmont get further evidence of high grade gold, then nothing stopping them in making an early offer in 50-60p range. Price would already have risen before that in anticipation.
Newmont can take Anza to production early under their ownership.
GGP rose to around £90m MCap in anticipation of Newmont coming on board after the 6 month exploration period at EG.
For that matter nothing stopping any other Gold major coming in with an opportunistic offer, like. ..
Newcrest, Kinross, BHP, Barrick...but they would have to get past Newmont first refusal...probably the main reason Newmont secured 19.9% giving them a head start, in my view.
Newmont been buying up the gold rich mid-cauca belt with a firm footprint in Columbia after Peru.
