>> During the exclusivity period, Anglo American will be permitted to conduct a technical review which, if satisfactory, MAY result in an extension of the exclusivity and the negotiation of a commercial transaction.
We are not in an extension:
1) You can't be in an extension of a period if you are still in the original period
2) The above isn't a legal text, because legal texts do not use ambiguous worlds like 'May'.
3) We know the technical review is complete, but we don't know if it was 'satisfactory', which is another ambiguous word.
4) We are assuming everything is fine, because they are doing due diligence. However, the above also says that satisfactory conclusion MAY result in a commercial transaction but the RNS clearly states there is no guarantee of any transaction taking place.
I think everything will be fine and the signs are good, but don't let confirmation bias lead you to unsupported assumptions.
