RE: RE: Citi Its about time you earned14 Sep 2020 12:23
Hi RICH3R, sorry but the bleeding obvious, is to proceed to production. All the evidence supports this conclusion, and nothing supports a bid.
First, look at the book, this is probably the largest impediment, as a bidder, has to talk to so many companies and get their agreement to sell their particular stake at below value. ( good luck with that one )
Secondly, we have appointed Citi to defend against bids.
Thirdly, we are not distressed, and can raise the money, as an independent company, and proceed to production. ( non distressed company's rarely get taken over ).
Lastly, after todays news, it would seem that the Franco Nevada deal, was not being held up, because NM was talking to BHP, abought a friendly bid. This was exactly what NM said, it was an unavoidable delay because of Covid.
I know this sounds crazy, but NM has played a straight bat, since becoming CEO, is it just possible, that he is telling the truth, and can bring this to production, and establish Solgold as a producer. What a wonderful swansong, that would be to his career. Not only building a company, to take forward, but to play no small role, in assisting Ecuador's economy, in no small way.
People forget, that people like NM are not motivated by money, but are visionaries.
