RE:toro jv with neighborZijin never bid for Gold X (Toroparu). A few years ago GCM (Aris) made a joint bid for both Gold X and Guyana Goldfields after Silvercorp and Zijin started bidding on Guyana Goldfields.
The lowball offer was rejected and GCM came back to the table a year later and upped the bid for Gold X which ultimately approved the merger.
I highly doubt that Aris would dump Toroparu shortly after acquiring it.
From my perspective, what I am watching to see what takes place in S. America is whom will buy the distressed Great Panther gold mine in Brazil. Any major could likely have it for a sizable discount right now as it is in the middle of bankruptcy protection.
S. America is a tough neighbourhood, the market seems to punish producers whether good or bad based upon jurisdictional risks (whether legitimate or not).
