So, if we assume that we are still going to have the drilling as you suggest, I think the big question is how does that fit into the timing of a BO.
I think we would all agree that a BO can happen any time. That was always the assumption, and there is no reason to change that. Even you, in your email, imply that when you write "it will happen buyout or not". This implies that the drilling (and presumably waiting for results) is not necessarily a pre-requisite for a BO. Various corporate communication with LME and Cynthia also implies that BO can be at any time, and shareholders are warned of that.
However, if we take a worse case scenario and say they wait for the results to finalizr a deall because of pricing issues, I think reasonable estimate might by end of September mid-October.
This still fits in to being able to close by end of 2023, which, as I have previously posted, can be preferable for tax reasons, particularly for holders of large quantities of shares such as Cynthia, Roger, and the LME Board,
Hopefully, they will be motivated to achieve that. We don't want this hanging over into 2024.
