Now, I don’t think, for one minute, think that we will sell this company knowing exactly what lies beneath. What Bill is saying is that there will be a balance, (maybe as early as Christmas) where a fair market value of the company in resource and potential can be made, whilst leaving plenty of upside for an acquiring company. In other words, we get a proper and fair amount per share buyout, whilst the acquiring company obtain a company with nailed on 9 years plus mine life (see previous PEA) with accompanying huge exploration potential.
Bill spoke about the battery metals, the current value, and potential for sale to second company along an east west trending line north and south of the Grassy Pond Sill. He informed us that there had been a gentle ‘sniff’ from Xstrata (I missed this at first!) at some point towards 2008, who had said they would talk when the 78,000 tonnes Ni eq. Ni43-101 Resource had been upped to 100,000. That point was not reached due to metals price drop post 2008 and a drilling cessation. I wonder if Glencore (who merged with Xstrata in 2013) are still interested? They are still a nickel miner.
So, we are at a point where the MRE for gold is anticipated, a review of battery metals is ongoing, and consideration is being given to succession planning. It is clear that any dual listing is not a priority as there ‘are other things to consider’, and I feel that the website is not a priority although we were told that it IS being addressed.
As I listened to Bill towards the end of the podcast, I began to form an opinion. It is my opinion, and my opinion only. A very positive opinion.
He made it clear, again, that there are interested parties. I don’t doubt this for one minute. There HAS to be. He has confirmed that, ‘once the ducks are lined up’ towards years end he will send out EOI’s. Does anyone on here, seriously doubt, that what Landore has will not already be out there. You’ve got to expect that CEO’s of multinationals, looking for corporate ventures and ounces, will be very well aware. And the EOI’s will leave things in no doubt. A poster elsewhere regularly talks about a certain historical success for Bill, and he is in no doubt of a repeat performance.
BUT, and significantly, Bill has made it clear that Landore are willing and able to continue. Not brinkmanship but fact. If fair offers arrive then negotiations will commence. If not, then Landore with Bill as CEO, or Chairman if he is succeeded as CEO by the right person, will raise money and continue to prove ounces. This will, in my opinion, become too obvious a company NOT to take out.
Sarah Lowther commented to Bill that it appeared that things were happening right now at Landore. After a suitable pause, we got the immortal reply ‘Silence is Golden’.
Read into that what you will.
