RE: RE: PROJECTED SHARE PRICE The Lundins can take the company private and claim all the future growth and profits but then they will lose credibility for their future undertakings. They have a 50 year record of maximising shareholder value.
Much like Argentina nationalising Repsol's assets in Argentina. Oil explorers will not be attracted to that country if they cannot reap the rewards of their effotrs.
In certain jurisdictions like Africa for example it is often better to have a public company with a large shareholder base that can provide investment opportunities for the locals ,as well as contacts who may be able to help the company when complications arise.
