It depends on how aggressive NCM wish to be. Usual practice is the Chairman of the acquirer would approach the Chairman of the target behind closed doors first.
Your logic is a bit flawed Redtrader. You can't say that the SP won't rise without more institutional money given that the SP has been at 38p without it.

I would counter this slightly though Canary in that GGP has been derisked considerably since the original NCM debt was provided, so think our risk profile now would allow us to borrow at lower rates.
Do you want a pat on the back that you have spare funds? Well done you, we bow down to you. How about some people less fortunate who can't necessarily hold on whilst the price gap persists?
Fully understood the post. I am just saying I would rather SP reflects the current value, and then continue to increase as the known resource increases.
Based on some of the comments this morning, it is clear that people fundamentally don’t understand how exploration works. Havieron was an incredible success and now people expect that from every other drill!
One question I did wonder is, whose valuation is the 20% differential based off? Naturally GGP's 5% valuation will be greater than NCM's, however that means their 20% threshold is also larger.
Great to see some momentum here! Get a CEO on board and another set of decent results then who know, maybe the highs of 4.5 could once again become a reailty!
