RE:RE:RE:What Bothers Me About Newmont, but why need themCurious what you and others would speculate as a "low ball" Newmont offer? I would consider that to be around $250M usd...which is still a 35% premium to current share price. A low ball offer based upon typical NPV acquisitions I would estimate to be more like $400M. Again, there is no way a Newmont board could recommend to its shareholders to pay something like $1B for a company trading on open market for $180M usd. Probably reason updated FS needed and needing further derisking...you can't blame Newmont for saying something hypothetical like , "hey...we really want to join up WRN...but how can I go back to shareholders and tell them why I should pay such a huge premium to acquire when I can just start acquiring on open market much cheaper over the next 2 years!".
