1981Investor - the person advising on the strategic review has said it will be "fast and smart". What that means is naturally open to interpretation, but given the pace at which things have moved since our former CEO was ousted, I would be disappointed if we hadn't heard news of some sort of value unlocking event by the end of June next year.
There is also the possibility that things move much quicker. As soon as the merger is complete, Jiangxi might table an offer for the whole business, which would force BHP and/or NCM to respond if they want to own Cascabel.
Finally, the outcome of the strategic review might result in the situation posited by Bozi, in which the regional licenses are spun off from Cascabel into a NewCo, and SOLG retains ownership of Cascabel. At that point, we'd essentially be selling the asset + any value assigned to the equity we've built up under the Solgold name on the ground (not a lot, but important given the country we're operating in). Investors would also be given free shares in NewCo to maintain an interest in the regional plays.
