Question on MurchisonGreetings.
I am long time MMY shareholder and trying to figure out what is happening here with the Murchison Gold purchase.
It appears KGL Resources had a ~$12m market cap before the deal was announced plus they had considerable cash from the sale of another asset. This article claims they would have ~$7M as of Dec 2013. ( https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/companies/news/51458/kgl-resources-to-pocket-15m-cash-from-gold-project-sale-51458.html ).
So my question is why not buy out KGL for a few million more, use the $7m cash to partially fund the purchase and sell off the assets to reduce the cost even more?
The market was only valuing ALL of KGL's assets at ~$5 million so why is MMY paying $15M for just Murchison?
I'd really love the management to explain. Cheers, Matthew
