Why does Newcrest want first refusal over GGP's other licences? That expression of interest is a positive and does suggest they see potential value what may lie beneath. Does Newcrest see a geological extension from their previous involvement in this location which may explain the insertion this part of the agreement?
Why 5% at market value following the various hoops that Newcrest have to jump through before that happens? Why not 10%, 2%, 15% or even the remaining %? Why 5%? What's the corporate reasoning behind this figure from the perspective of GGP and from Newcrest's angle? The 5% appears at first read to be an arbitrary figure but cannot be. There's always a reason.
The Havieron deal is in many ways outdated in that it was negotiated and agreed to upon information not known. Only now, after thousands of metres drilled, has the true scale of Havieron revealed itself.
Has anyone seen the full agreement?
