RE:All this about DB potential (maybe) accomplishes one thingFactsR, see my earlier post to Tiny about the Circular. deBeers did Snap Lake and Victor all on their own. Snap Lake is on care & maintenance; Victor will close in 2019. This situation is novel for deBeers; instead of being an Oppenheimer freestanding business, they now are a fractional part of Anglo-American. PLUS, instead of having free reign to develop (or not develop) at their own pace, they have a junior partner that has a "big brother". I believe deBeers is not accustomed to a strong financial pushback in a country that has a strong legal system. If it were merely a matter of dollars, DD or deBeers would have bought out the whole operation years ago, at MUCH lower total cost. So, here we are. Look at the map of properties around GK. If this deal goes through, the "junior" partner - MPVD - will control most, if not all, of them. Faraday & Kelvin are proven, but not enough to support a mill at current prices. Doyle and MZ are TBD for resource; and then there's any "blue sky" on the KDI properties. I personally think this merger is action which will put some distance between deBeers and MPVD's testiclez. Check my facts; I try to label my opinions as such. If I'm right, I'm rich; if I'm wrong, I pay the price. I've got skin in the game. So, do your due; choose, if you care, to place your coin; and watch the game unfold. GLTA.
