Morning All and great to see another set of sterling results!
I expect last night has been done to death already but here's my summary. If I need to be corrected anywhere please feel free to point out:
- Overall a fantastic boost to the psyche in a languishing market cap from the Boss SD
-He was very keen to be as honest and helpful as possible to no end of questions both during and after the presentation where he mingled with all the attendees group by group. A rare event from an MD
-here's my take after trying to read fully his real answers:
- to the shorting theories and JPM; not on his radar as important, significant or big enough to be de-railing . a non event basically and they will get caught out soon enough
-to takeout talk; we are of course vulnerable but with the might of Wyloo et al we have options and alternatives and if we go it will be in his words'' for an eye-watering sum''; when we pressed him on what that means exactly, he would not be pressed obviously but I left that conversation much happier. he is out to build his huge company
- the best news ever is that like the Tasmanian assets he wants to continue organic and non organic growth and generate ore streaming incomes in our portfolio. In other words, we invest in others and they do the hard labour whilst we sit pretty and take a cut. BIG COMPANY THINKING PEOPLE!
-re Newcrest; the relationship is good and we need Newcrest in many ways and they have spent already £350m on developing Hav why walk away now (in other words) but he acknowledges our pain on lack of oxygen re Hav from SB
-he is still surprised re the 5% but things are very different now
-When the likes of Jimmy Wilson (our new board member) and the others walk in the room respect for GGP and us as a more formidable entity and player have increased HUGELY(he has nurtured the relationship with all of them in the background for 14 months and boy is it paying off!
- re instos buying in; he already knows of two buying is as we speak and others will follow after ASX listing etc
- re the languished SP; his words' it's a head-scratcher ' and of course makes us vulnerable, but he doesn't seem too worried
-CRITICALLY (as far as I am concerned) watch this space as the next 6-9 months will be very good for us with many good things to look forward to
- re the resource update; he is still of the mind it will be jointly released in Feb and if they don't then he will issue one
-re possibly keeping a close eye on inorganic growth re purchases (and this is a throwaway comment re Winu when asked ) it is not out of his eyesight! make of that what you will
- time scales when asked about when can Panama retire early- he said 2 year plan around Hav etc and other asset developments and catalysts; 5 year streaming incomes portfolio and multi asset company with insto investment etc
-drill results- ours will be great for Hav and he is Vexcited about EG exploration
- re more to come from Hav; can't reiterate how many time
