I agree - not keen on any buyout in immediate short term as Mark is prime position to develop assets organically.
Italy is already in play with additional permits seemingly highly likely, with limited obstacles.
Spain is the area I personally would like to see traction on - Mark needs to find a green solution to unlock the asset. This to me is clear based on limited progress to date. It a solution is found, with limited risk and financing, then we have 2 horses in the race.
Importantly, any green solution which does unlock El romeral permits, would also naturally lead to view similar could be done for Tesorillo. Game changer.
Neither Spanish assets are materially factored into existing 20p broker - with 1.3p value attributed.
Above is why I’d prefer buyout / offers to be entertained post next Italian permit, and more importantly, Spanish green solution to unlock permitting on those assets. Then we’re in play.
Either way, exciting times ahead - solid financial and asset footing.
