RE: Refuse the 5%23 Feb 2022 16:41
Everyonesawinner - I'm not sure that you understand what an MRE2 is.
It's a collation of the asseys received to date, pulled together in an attempt to best estimate the ore-body. It is still only going to be another fraction of a fraction, and only cover the volumes with dense enough drill data. GGP would be more than capable to pull together their own estimate, and I'm sure they have (however it may not necessarily be JORC compliant).
The 5% FMV is a commercial agreement to purchase a stake in the Havieron JV. Although having a MRE2 would make fag-packet calculations easier, both companies will be going back to "first-principles" to carry out their valuation. Their valuations will include area's of the ore body not considered by MRE2, likely also even making a small allowance for parts of the tenement which haven't even been drilled yet.
Having MRE2 would have been great to advertise to the wider market what we all already know, in terms of the resource size, and may have even been a useful document for GGP to lean on when securing finance, but it's not overly material to the FMV calculation. I believe that it would have bolstered the sp in the short term, before FMV blows the doors off, but in the absence of that we will just have to keep waiting for the FMV re-rate.
