So Carlisle management finally found a partner in Aurico and that really surprised Nordgold because Carlisle management didn't communicate the deal with it's shareholders and just went ahead with the announcement. I think there will be another offer somewhere between 12-15 cents. Let's see what tomorrow brings with the meeting between Carlisel and the regulators. If the regulators agree with Nordgold, maybe the share price will react positively?
this is also a cautionary tale of how and when not to nickle and dime, offer 50m now for all shares of CGJ and be done with it, in a grand scheme of things that's not a lot of money for nord gold if they do all stock.
12-15c is dickering around, 20c does it and Aurico goes away - they can't justify that kind of price with their own shareholders or maybe I'm wrong and they'll match it with their own stock.
As an example, DM (Duluth Metals) was looking for financing and when the deadline was up, Antofagasta came in and offered 45 cents. A very, very low market cap of around 60 million. I see a similar thing with CGJ. Interested companies will wait as long as they can before they make their move.
