Re: The Power of ROFR (Rights of First Refusal) 💥💥💥

That’s a really interesting article. Thank you for sharing it here. As I pointed out recently it’s also possible that SD accepts the hard reality that the capital sums required here (including funding 100% of the project to completion) are out of reach for GGP, particularly if he wants to respect th...

Re: Newmont and Telfer (with Havieron)

I am sure that Havieron will be a successful mine over many decades. Less sure that existing GGP shareholders will be big beneficiaries. I could see how it could work when riding in the box seat with Newcrest, but the propositions under discussion here are a long way from that now. Thank you for the...

Re: Newmont and Telfer (with Havieron)

I’m going to risk advancing a less positive prognosis. GGP doesn’t have the upper hand in anything here. They bring nothing other than their 30% and their ROLR to the party and it’s not clear that is going to be enough to secure a winning outcome for existing shareholders. It’s very hard right now t...

Re: New Newmont strategy

The info from Hydrogen’s “good source” has turned out to be incorrect. The outcome described as “NO [effing] way - and I mean totally ZERO chance” is happening after all. I have it from a good source and Oz based mining friend: There will be No Newmont spin out of Telfer. You know what that means/im...

Re: Newmont and Telfer (with Havieron)

That’s an interesting post Rotherby. It’s likely there will be close regulatory attention to any sale of Telfer. Regulators will want a deeply capitalised company to backstop the potential environmental liabilities, which are hard to quantify and could stretch out over decades. I can’t see them lett...

Re: Legal & General NOW own 2.4%

Thanks for clarifying Francis So which is it? Did someone pick the stock or did a set of conditions pick it? It wasn't picked. A set of ESG-related conditions were met. Those conditions will have been set by LGIM's ESG team, NOT by a fund manager. The whole point of an index like this is that it DO...

Re: Legal & General NOW own 2.4%

Definitely good work by SD & team on the ESG front, as I pointed out in my first post. It's likely that GGP will pass other investment company ESG screens so could pop up in ESG portfolios elsewhere. LGIM should be a stable long term holder. However they are one of the largest and most active st...

The inclusion was part of the ordinary rebalance announced 18th October, effective 2nd November: https://www.solactive.com/ordinary-rebalance-several-solactive-indices-effective-date-2nd-november-2023-14/ It’s a rules based index series, so inclusion was automatic (ie not discretionary) once the rel...

Re: Legal & General NOW own 2.4%

L&G bought for their index funds after GGP was included in Solactive’s (a German index provider) ESG series last year. This is probably a tangible outcome of SD’s work on ESG credentials, which is a positive in itself. It’s misleading to characterise it as an investment decision made by an activ...

Haul Road

A question for this boards resident experts. What is the status of the haul road required between Hav and Telfer? Is it being built already as part of the pre-mining works? If not, when will work on it start and how long might it take?

So, out of interest, as an institution or corporate, could I ask a prime broker to help execute and order for say 120m GGP shares - but stipulate that I’m not prepared to pay over 7.2p? Of course you could, that’s just a normal limit order :roll: Will a prime broker like GPP engage in price manipul...

No, that’s all in your hyper-fertile imagination! GPP are just a prime broker offering trade execution and settlement (essentially outsourced back office) to HF’s and prop traders. If you are one of the many self-proclaimed legends who’ve been canned by Goldman/UBS/whoever in the last decade and you...

Zoros - “make it up” is exactly what those two (and their facilitators) have done. A shambolic jenga-tower of confirmation-bias driven fabrications, misunderstandings and misrepresentations.
