Evening all
I thought I would share the response to an email I sent to Steve Todoruk re GGP, Im sure he looks in here from time to time and hope he doesnt mind me sharing his responses. See below:
Steve is a Investment Executive at Sprott and a Professional Geoscientist.

Q. The current share price and what you believe will be the catalyst for the next leg up.
A. Ongoing drilling growing the deposit bigger and advancing the project moving it towards mine production
Q. The likely hood of Newcrest to buy the remaining 25% of Havieron and whether this will be at a significant premium to todays SP.
A. They either build it into a mine having to give GGP 25% of the profit (which is great as that move GGP into producer status) or take over GGP (which is what I would expect them to do). We just had a takeover in the sector yesterday. Newmont took over GT Gold at a 60% takeover premium above what they had been trading at. The normal takeover premium is usually 25-40% but that can easily increase as we saw yesterday.
Q. Valuation of our other projects at Juri (JV with Newcrest) and 100% owned at Scallywag and Rudall.
A. Not worth anything because nothing of any value is known on them. They are just mining real estate which is worth a little, but not a lot
Q. What shareholder value do think the new CEO Shaun Day can bring.
A. Pretty well any one can run the GGP bus because Newcrest is doing everything.
Love the response to the second question.
He seems to be quite approachable, hence would encourage others to do better than my basic questions above.
