Hi Dip, it’s what most level headed people have been saying for ages. Until anything is confirmed via RNS, then take everything you read here or anywhere else for that matter, with a very large pinch of salt.
Unless you’re in a very privileged position, then nobody will have a Scooby Doo who is to be announced as the new owners of Telfer.
There’s Pro’s & Con’s for GGP to owning Telfer, but is it the be all & end all of being invested in GGP, absolutely not.
I truly believe SD & the BOD’s will fight tooth & nail to buy back the farm (Havieron), but as for Telfer, I’m not too sure.
SD once said he’d only pay $1 for Telfer due to its best days being well & truly behind it, plus the liabilities that anyone purchasing Telfer would have to inherit and absorb into its finances.
According to Shinybits a huge amount of money has been spent on Telfer to get it into shape for the impending sale, a bit like paying for new tyres and a service on your old banger, but just how many tyre kicker’s have been out to Telfer to see for themselves whether or not the money being asked, will be worth it ? Who knows.
For me, I wouldn’t buy things just because they’ve got new shiny bits on it, I’d only interested if it’d be good for another 100,000 miles. So as has been rumoured before, Telfer need’s to show that it’s reserve’s can be increased from what is currently known, as there’s no point in purchasing anything whereby you’re scraping the bottom of the barrel from the off, it needs to stand on its own two feet and make profits of its own, without adding in the ore from Havieron, unless of course, it will only be used just as a processing plant, in which case the sale price will be adjusted accordingly.
But at present, as always, it’s just a matter of Wait & see what will be announced!
