Potential - Huge or more modest
Snowshoe's point:
"I hope they can turn this ship around because the property/project has huge potential if operations can hit design plan."
I would observe that if they can't hit the plan, "they" will be gone. Newmont and the fund will sell to the first wallet that shows a pulse. Whether the company does poorly or well will determine about a dollar difference in ultimate takeover price per share, but probably not much more than that.
IMHO.
