Broker Berenberg says that the main catalyst for Greatland Gold PLC’s (AIM: GGP) shares is the valuation, by Newcrest, of the 5% option over Havieron.
This option will increase Newcrest’s Havieron holding from 70% to 75%. The exercise process must be completed by mid-February 2022.
The most significant result seen at Havieron outside of the South East Crescent Zone
Berenberg believes that the determination of the option price will be left to an independent expert. Newcrest has 30 days from the date the fair value is determined to acquire the additional interest of 5%.
“We see this as a crucial moment for Greatland because it will be clear how Newcrest values the whole project and not just the portion that was included in the initial prefeasibility study.
