Crucial negotiation period now23 Nov 2020 13:42
Such a crucial period now between Newcrest and Greatland. Probably the most testy period I would say. Careers potentially at stake.
With clear knowledge that Havieron is a viable project it is surely in Newcrest's interest to push down on the value of Havieron if they intend to make an offer for the tenement. They could do this through basically inflating costs. 'Yes we will use block caving however need to transport (Costing 'x') and process at Telfer which is costing 'y' at present' etc
This could be another reason for delaying Scallywag results as surely before entering to any further agreement with Newcrest, even if not under obligation to accept by Greatland, GGP would want to know what fair value for Havieron MRE is.
Ofcourse, on the other side of that coin is undoubtably Newcrest desire to pursue other Greatland prospects if results are satisfactory. Would releasing Scallywag results reduce Greatlands negotiating position?
Holding no matter what but much at play!
