Agree and all valid points.
I should have listened to my gut instincts when prior to Newmont's 19.9 % investment, Omi had announced that a small amount US$250k was raised from a 'Sophisticated International Mining Company' at more than double what they were trading at. I did not get in at the time as I was too bogged down with the other exploration company.
SP Angel at the time had said that " the investment from the unnamed mining company UNDERLINES THE CREDIBILITY OF THE ANZA AREA as an exploration target and, IF CONTINUING EXPLORATION IS SUCCESSFUL, maywell prove to be simply a first step in a closer long term relationship". This investment was on June 9th.
Exactly three months later in September we have Newmont acquiring a further 29.2m shares. Note the words from SP Angel " IF CONTINUING EXPLORATION IS SUCCESSFUL" . So between the first tranch and prior to the second, Newmont MUST have carried out their own work which has led to them acquiring 19.9 %. This is the reason why I believe the investment case is so strong here.
