RE: Newcrest Leftovers Don’t Appeal to Australia’s Top Gold Miners - Bloomberg9 Aug 2023 07:03
Looks like a carefully worded piece to me. Short on real facts:
"two operations predicted to be put up for sale by Newmont..." predicted by whom - not Newmont, obviously?
"Newmont is widely expected by sector executives to sell the two Newcrest-operated mines in Western Australia...." Widely expected or wild speculation, Hmmmm!
So the two big boys say that they aren't interested.... Yeah, right! Besides, if they were preparing bids, would they really want to tip of the market this early on? Would you?
Of course Greatland will bid, we own the remaining 30% - so nothing unexpected here.
Just a piece put together by a journalist trying to earn his crust, I suspect. Nothing of substance, more speculation and fishing for a bombshell headline which wasn't forthcoming.
I'm not reading anything into this at all (in case you hadn't guessed).
