Smith is in a totally different league to Sangha, who thought the best way to communicate we were up for sale was to do an interview with an Aussie national newspaper and insult our major shareholders. Our Chair is letting the market know we are very much still open to a sensible offer in a way that isn't going to ruffle any feathers.
Bankers are going to push mining management teams into these megadeals because everyone gets a fatter paycheque at the end of it, and buying producing assets is a much easier sell to investors. Eventually the penny will drop and one of the big boys will recognise that in order to secure future supply they're going to have to buy and develop an asset like Cascabel. Thankfully there aren't many of them out there.
