Fair point Ice, you make a good point, about joint ventures, and I was not aware of those stats, and not sure I could check them that easily.
But we may be seeing a break in convention, as Solgold don't have to acquire Alapla, they own it. ( well 85% of it ).
So the question becomes, can they raise the money, to build it and go to construction.
Many on this chatroom, not so long ago, suggested that the Franco Nevada deal, would not be signed, because we had a deal in the background with BHP. This has been proved, not to be true.
Many on here, said that a company with no experience in building a mine, could not get the funding. I don't believe that to be true either, but we need to wait and see on that point.
After they get the money, people I suspect will say, yes they have the money, but lack the experience, so they can't build it. Some will continue to say that, after they buy in the skills required.
This is a civil engineering project, and like every other civil engineering project, will be successful, if planned correctly at the outset. Sure every project, gets bumps along the way, but the engineering teams, iron these out, produce TSB's ( technical service bulletins ) and continue, with the improved process.
In all, Solgolds ducks are lined up in a row. I believe Ingo last night, on the delays. I don't believe in conspiracy theories. Also I don't believe the market believes we will get a bid, never the less defend it, otherwise our share price would be higher.
