I see Newcrest(NCM) have tickled Newmont's(NEM) fancy...again. I'm assuming it's because NCM have taken them behind the scenes and shown them what's under cover.
IF.....this includes a major rerate @ Hav, in the shape of an upgraded MRE(2) then wouldn't that be nice for us too? Obviously the MRE isn't ready for publication yet (otherwise NCM would have to produce it now, iaw market regs), so we 'should' expect to see it after final negotiations have been concluded between the two majors around about end of April ish. Possible SP catalyst.
If/when NEM takes control then (in particular @ Hav/Telfer), I am hoping it will be business as usual regarding the DTM and timeline? Maybe NEM might want a pause prior to publication so that they can put their moniker on the document (crossing the t's and dotting the i's). I'm building this delay into my plans. DTM - SP catalyst.
IMO I am also adding more weight to NEM offering Hav for sale. Ergo - Telfer would need to be included in that sale price because without Hav, Telfer is just a relic (in particular if GGP make noises about building their own processing plant @ Hav). I expect Telfer to go for a song consequently. Maybe £1.5bn for Hav and Telfer becomes the BOGOF!!
Funding this is all about timing for me. Do it before the listing on the ASX and/or before consolidation -and it could be messy.
I would like to see: (a) consolidation, (b) listing, (c) debt funding, in that order. SP catalyst.
That way (as Jerry explained a while back) "dilution of our SP" would be catered for (and more) by asset accretion.
I really see SD wanting the whole of the Apple Pie.........
Oh by the way, Callum still retains his 113,000,000 shares. Now why on earth would the man who discovered Hav, built the model, seen the results (and future), want to leave those piddling few shares in GGP? Hmmmmm?
It's going to go quiet until NCM/NEM sort themselves out. Looking at April/May I guess.
The last 6 months of this year are going to go APE!
Enjoy the ride and think how much tax you'll all save inside those SIPP's ;)
