I'm firmly in the Takeover camp and fully agree with the likes of addickt JS etc, for following reasons:
CGP wither and die when the time comes to pay for the mine...OR Solg can buy them off for a pittance. So why is NM wasting time, effort and money on this pathetic coup.
BHP will buy CGP at the appropriate time for far more than NM is offering now and CGP know this.
BHP will then be too strong for SOLG to hold back and will be offered an ultimatum to either JV with them or get taken out.
Finally, mine production on a scale like this, is massive. Only a handful of majors can manage it. If NM was serious about production, it would take nhim atleast twice as long as a Major and he simply aint going to be around by then! He will buckle and he will either: get into bed with a major / sell Alpala off and get on with the rest of his tenures / (or unlikely) sell everything and go live in Polynesia or somewhere with his grandkids!
As has been said before and has been proven time and time again: NM is not a businessman, he's a geologist/scientist/discoverer. He shouldn't be allowed in the office. Just look at the fricking SP.....speaks volumes about what the market thinks of him.
