IMHO, we're a long way from any J/V at Scally. The most likely scenario going forward would be for the Scallywag test drills, ASAP after the COVID-19 lockdown, maybe Q2/Q3 (instead of planned Q1/Q2). That would be under current project funding, with cash flow being adequate, as reported in the last financial results, until around October with the addition of the later warranties input.
Further funding for extra drilling (based on positive test drill assay results, and which I also believe that GH would be in favour of, to add extra shareholder value) at Scallywag may well then be funded by the possible divestment of the likes of Fire Tower and/or Warrentinna around, say, Q3/Q4 this year.
Based on all that, obviously again assay results based, and it's only a guesstimate, I'd expect GGP to then go for another farm in type agreement with Newcrest at Scallywag (most likely, and taking up their first right of refusal option), or, alternatively, the possibility of a new J/V with someone else, taking place towards the end of 2020/early 2021.
