It’s not just 1 x payment to keep their rights. They own 19.9% of OMI regardless - dated 10/09/2018. They are also required to spend 10m on top within the first four years, with 2.5yrs remaining and no movement on that front yet you would expect there’s a bounty of news on the horizon.
“In Phase 1, Newmont may earn a 51% ownership interest by spending US$10.0 million in qualifying expenditures over four years and making cash payments to Orosur equaling a total of US$2.0 million during the first two years of the Phase 1 earn-in period. Upon Newmont’s completion of Phase 1, it may elect, in its sole discretion, to exercise its option to form a joint venture with Orosur”
Cannot imagine Newmont didn’t do their due diligence here.. just a case of being in the right place at the right time.
