RE: Newcrest raising $1bn for a material purchase30 Apr 2020 12:03
Thank you for your reply addicknt, as you see this from a different prospective. Always good to sanity check, my own beliefs. 1) I agree GGP, won't be cheap, but I feel they can raise the money. Their 15% shareholding only gets diluted significantly if we issue more shares. It may happen, but as for now, see no indication, that we need to raise funds in such a fashion. 2) I pretty much agree with all your point 2, and indeed if that came about then 1.50 pounds, would also be a good exit point for me. However, I believe BHP do have to wait for the PFS, as this I feel is NM's real race against time, as that will be completed, come what may, before BHP are released from their standstill agreement, and thus making this more expensive. A pretty decent way to prevent a cheap takeover. This is why I believe the 150 million, will be sorted, within days, to accelerate this process. In all, good news, whatever the outcome.
