I was in...and are still in with some shares....so therefore I have a question to a maybe better informed investor then me
WHY the share price actually is about 1.76 with a low from even 1.72 yesterday?
As I know, the Price what the aquirer will pay is about 1.91/1.92 (exchanging from canadian to us dollar)

Exeter Resource Corporation (NYSE-MKT:XRA) (TSX:XRC) (Frankfurt:EXB) (“Exeter” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a definitive agreement (the "Agreement") with Goldcorp Inc. (NYSE:GG) (TSX:G) ("Goldcorp"), whereby Goldcorp will acquire all of the outstanding shares of Exeter under a plan of arrangement for consideration of 0.12 of a Goldcorp share for each Exeter share, which represents a value equivalent to C$2.58 per Exeter share, based on the closing price of Goldcorp shares on the TSX on March 27, 2017, and total consideration of C$247 million.
This represents a premium of 67% on the Exeter shares based on the closing prices of both companies common shares on the TSX on March 27, 2017 and a 60% premium based on Goldcorp’s and Exeter’s 20-day TSX volume weighted average trading price ending on March 27, 2017.
Exeter's Board of Directors has unanimously approved the transaction and recommends that Exeter shareholders vote in favour of the arrangement. All of the directors and officers of Exeter, who own or control approximately 8.4% of Exeter's issued and outstanding shares, have entered into support agreements with Goldcorp pursuant to which they have agreed, among other things, to support the transaction and vote their Exeter shares in favour of the arrangement.
Scotiabank and Paradigm Capital Inc., have provided opinions to the Exeter Board of Directors and the special committee of independent directors of Exeter, respectively, that as of the date of such opinions and subject to the assumptions, limitations, and qualifications stated in such opinions, the consideration to be received by the Exeter shareholders under the transaction is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Exeter shareholders (other than Goldcorp and its affiliates).
Benefits to Exeter Shareholders
•Secures immediate value appreciation for Exeter shareholders, eliminating the burden of future dilution as would be necessary to move the Caspiche project forward.
•Based on March 27, 2017 closing prices, the 0.12 of a Goldcorp share offered for each Exeter share represents
- Total consideration of approximately C$247 million, or C$2.58 per share.
- Premium of 67% to Exeter's closing share price on March 27, 2017.
- Premium of 60% to the volume weighted average trading price of Exeter shares on the TSX for the 20-day period ending on March 27, 2017.
•Goldcorp is the world's fourth largest gold producer, with high-quality, low-cost production and an investment grade balance sheet.
•Conversion of Exeter shares to Goldcorp shares provides exposure to Goldcorp's portfolio of diversified, world-class assets in low political risk jurisdictions.
•Goldcorp with its joint venture partner in the Maricunga Gold Belt, Barrick Gold Corporation (TSX:ABX) (NYSE:ABX) have the technical and financial capability to advance the Caspiche project to production at a scale commensurate with the size of the available resources.
Co-Chairman of Exeter, Yale Simpson stated, “Since the discovery of Caspiche in 2007, our team successfully delineated and technically advanced one of the largest gold – copper deposits in the Americas. While advancing the near surface 1.7 million ounce gold oxide open pit is a sensible starter option for Exeter, the enormous scope of the Caspiche gold-copper sulphide project requires both the capital and technical expertise of a major mining company to unlock its true value. Goldcorp, a leading gold producer with a strong track record of responsible mining is both capable and motivated to develop a mine at Caspiche. Exeter shareholders receive an immediate, attractive premium in this transaction. Through the Goldcorp shares received they retain their exposure to the Caspiche project, but without the adherent financial risk that would challenge Exeter.”
Closing of the transaction is subject to various conditions, which are standard for a transaction of this nature, including receipt of Exeter shareholder, court and regulatory approval. Full details of the transaction will be set out in Exeter's information circular that it will prepare in respect of the meeting of shareholders to approve the transaction, to be held on or before May 31, 2017. Exeter intends to mail the information circular by mid-April, 2017. The transaction is expected to close no later than June 30, 2017.
Pursuant to the arrangement, Exeter is subject to customary non-solicitation covenants. In the event a superior proposal is made to Exeter, Goldcorp has the right to match such proposal. Under certain circumstances where the transaction is not completed, Exeter has agreed to pay a termination fee of C$8.65 million to Goldcorp.
Exeter has engaged Scotiabank as its financial advisor and Gowling WLG (Canada) LLP in Canada, Dorsey & Whitney LLP in the United States, and Bofill Mir & Álvarez Jana in Chile as its legal advisors in connection with the transaction.
Copies of the Agreement, support agreements, management information circular, when available, and certain related documents will be filed with securities regulators and will be available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov.
None of the securities to be issued pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement have been, or will be registered under the United State Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act”), or any applicable securities law of any state of the United States and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of a U.S. person, absent such registration or an exemption therefrom.

Cautionary Note to United States Investors - Exeter is required to describe mineral resources associated with its properties utilizing Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum ("CIM") definitions of "measured mineral resources", "indicated mineral resources" and "inferred mineral resources" are defined in and are required to be disclosed pursuant to Canadian regulations; however, these terms are not defined terms under the United States Securities and Exchange Commission’s Industry Guide 7 and normally are not permitted to be used in reports and other documents filed with the SEC. Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted into SEC Industry Guide 7 compliant mineral reserves. "Inferred mineral resources" have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules, estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies, except in rare cases. Disclosure of "contained ounces" in a mineral resource is permitted disclosure under Canadian regulations. However, the SEC normally only permits issuers to report mineralization that does not constitute "mineral reserves" by SEC Industry Guide 7 standards as in place tonnage and grade, without reference to unit measures.

Not much volume today $43k
I think it'll be heading north if it can break past the ceiling of 1.16. If it close below 1.10 and struggles to get back over I think it will start its downward spin.
Is is still bullish @1.14. I knew to stay then it was being fueled by paid for P&D. Now the p & d is over it's right back to where it started.
Exeter Resources on BNN today. The size of this mines resources is scary, when will someone notice?
BNN Video
Back in chasing @ $1. Welcome back to GREENLAND!! XRA
Took my investment out this morning and left the free shares. Cheers to me making a huge mistake!
I will take that every day if possible.
There is a ton of potential in this company and it will become more apparent as time goes by.
Hoping the company doesn't get sold too soon or we not relies the true value of such a mining prospect this is.
moving like something's brewing, but gold pricing in general has been in an uptrend....
Great move today. I wounder is there something brewing or just someone picking up a lot of shares.
Should have news on the water rights approval soon enough.
yeah, this has been a long time in and out, and sometimes hold...this time, I started accumulating, chased it into the .30's, it's just too low......as I said earlier....gold starts running, this is a buyout candidate in my mind.....$5-$8.00 minimum in my opinion......just an opinion though!
I got lucky also in the mid .30's, added in the .50's and again today early @.66.. it was clear looking @L2 flashing they were moving it up today. Next stop .80
looking very strong as the price of gold rebounds....should gold strengthen significantly, I think this is the #1 candidate to be a buyout potential....
I have been a buyer into the .30's so some shares really paying off now.....
long-term holder through good and bad, lol
Blue sky breakout baby! Let's go XRA!! To Greenland and beyond
obviously helped by the slight rebound in gold prices, but new buyers in recent weeks have taken a significant stance......looking good....
Really nice action this morning on better than average volume early!
near cash.. this is a good buy imo... if/when I get funds I wouldn't mind a nice position at this level
I have been adding big time over the last few weeks......when the market turns, bam, if a buyout doesn't come first....
Time to come back and play? Going to be a bounce at some point. XRA baby!
Couple....lol
nice move by XRA..like it woke up from its coma.
I have owned it for the last 5 years.... just one of the many half dead dogs in a coma I call them.... that I own...but Exeter started stirring a month or two ago and now it looks kind real doesnt it....
Maybe it will become the pumped up bubble darling miner in 2015...along with Claude.
Its been a long time owning this one.nice to have something to smile about.
What was the fundamental reason for this move? was there any?
I'll just sit here and celebrate by myself. Congrats on a nice pick! Hey! Thanks a lot
XRA looking like a good buy right now. GL
lets hope so, of course, this is a long term accumulate and hold for me.....
Good news with Exeter Resources and Tinka Resources today.I think we have seen the bottom.GL John
all good, gltu also!
Yes! The price of gold plays a big part. A guy I read" says" he met the president of XRA at the Denver gold conference and was very impressed with the XRA story.He recommended a strong buy in his news-letter .He reiterated another strong buy after after meeting with the president again a week or so ago.He was told mgt. is buying with both hands.I'll see if I can find some information on inside buying and get back to the board.Everyone has a story.GL John
I think the water is definitely a go, in time. The price of gold and sentiment in general is the bigger issue to me right now......huge reserve......if gold moves north, some big players sitting out there with tons of cash...I just keep accumulating!
This company has great potential and we'll soon find out what the score is.I think if they got the water we get the gold.GL John
difficult to predict fair value, but their most recent presentation contains the best information to help you gain the info you need, thanks!

Anyone has idea about the fair value of Caspiche deposit?
XRA is trading around 60 cents and company has over 30 million USD in the bank. What would someone pay for 19 million ounces of gold/30 million gold equivalent ounces?

Exeter Resource Corporation is a Canadian public company listed on the TSX Venture and NYSE Amex exchanges. Our focus is the discovery, evaluation and development of gold deposits in Chile and Argentina.
At March 24, 2009 the Company had C$40 million, a cash reserve considered sufficient to fund two years of expenditure at current levels of activity, including drilling on the Company’s Caspiche and Cerro Moro projects. Exeter plans to retain sufficient cash reserves so that the longer term viability of the Company is ensured.
Exeter’s Caspiche Project in Chile (option to own 100% from Anglo American Chile Limitada) is a gold-copper porphyry system, a type of deposit common to many of the world's largest open pit gold-copper mines. It is located 15 kilometres (8 miles) south of Kinross Gold's Refugio mine (+6 million ounce gold resource), and 10 kilometres (6 miles) north of the very large Cerro Casale gold-copper deposit (24 million ounce gold resource), jointly owned by Kinross Gold and Barrick Gold.
On March 24, 2009 Exeter announced an interim National Instrument 43-101 (“NI 43-101”) compliant mineral resource estimate for Caspiche, for drilling to the end of 2008. The inferred resource is 8.73 million ounces gold and 2.09 billion pounds of copper, or 12.65 million gold equivalent ounces (refer to March 24, 2009 News Release). The additional 3.92 million ounces of gold equivalent is calculated using a copper conversion price of $1.50 per pound and a gold price of $800 per ounce. The resource estimate leaves the deposit open for expansion to the west, south and to depth.
A second mineral resource estimate is proposed in September 2009. It will be based on all data up to the seasonal close of drilling in May 2009. The Company plans to recommence drilling in October 2009 and to continue that program through to May 2010. The budget through to September 2010 provides for $16 million in expenditures and includes drilling to further expand the resource, in-fill drilling of the highest grade area to “indicated resource” status, infrastructure studies and metallurgical testwork.
The Company’s ultimate intention with regard to the Caspiche asset is to negotiate a transaction with a major mining company, which will enable us to realize all or part of the value of the Caspiche discovery for the benefit of shareholders.
The Cerro Moro Gold-Silver Project in Santa Cruz Province, Argentina is 100% owned by Exeter, with the Santa Cruz Government Mining Company, Fomicruz S.E. entitled to a 5% interest, on completion of mine permitting.
Since the onset of the financial crisis, the Company has focused on the very high grade Escondida vein system at Cerro Moro. We believe Cerro Moro has the potential to be developed as a low capital cost mining operation and the possibility of increasing the resource base is excellent.
An initial NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate based on 464 drill holes is scheduled to be released in Q2-2009. The Company will also restart drilling in Q2-2009, when drilling permits are received. One rig will further evaluate the known high grade Escondida Vein, where drilling has indicated significant near surface mineralization. A second rig will test a property immediately north west of the defined Escondida Vein, where geophysical data suggests a potential continuation of the Escondida Vein over a strike length of 2.0 kilometres (1.25 miles). That property is subject to a joint venture wherein Exeter can earn an 80% interest from Fomicruz S.E., by incurring certain exploration expenditures.
From Q4-2009 onwards, Cerro Moro activities will likely focus on mine development studies. The gold deposit should benefit from being very high grade by industry standards, and being near the port of Puerto Deseado where substantial infrastructure is available. It is also within an established gold-silver district, with mines owned by AngloGold Ashanti, Pan American Silver, Coeur d’Alene Mines and Minera Andes/Hochschild.
The Don Sixto Gold Project is located in Mendoza Province, Argentina (Exeter option to own 100%). Following detailed drilling conducted through 2005-2006 the Company announced a NI 43-101 compliant estimate of gold resources in 2007. At a 0.5 g/t gold cut-off grade the "measured and indicated resource" is 925,000 ounces of gold (20.48 million tonnes at an average grade of 1.40 g/t gold) and the "inferred resource" is 334,000 ounces of gold (9.29 million tonnes at a grade of 1.12 g/t gold). The resource is detailed on this website.
In June 2007, the Mendoza government passed legislation that severely restricts mining in Mendoza Province. Exeter immediately suspended exploration on the Don Sixto property and filed an action in the Supreme Court to have the legislation declared unconstitutional. The Company will continue to work with all levels of government, industry, unions and other interested parties to demonstrate that the project, if economically viable, could be developed responsibly and on a sustainable basis.
Exeter has other drill ready gold-silver targets in prospective regions of Patagonian Argentina and Chile that are currently on hold. The Company gained a broad foothold in the region through separate strategic alliances with Cerro Vanguardia S.A. (an AngloGold Ashanti subsidiary), and Rio Tinto Mining and Exploration Chile.
Exeter is well positioned for success. Our projects are proving to be uniquely valuable, and our strategic agreements with major companies provide a "pipeline" of growth opportunities.

SYDNEY -
High flying gold exploration junior, Exeter Resource Corp, has had the strategic split of the company into two separate entities approved by its shareholders. Exeter itself will now concentrate on the huge Caspiche gold/silver/copper project in the Maricunga region of the Chilean Andes, virtually halfway between Kinross' Maricunga mine (formerly known as Refugio) and Barrick's Cerro Casale project, while the spin-off company, to be called Extorre, will take on the group's Cerro Moro gold project, and other Argentinian gold exploration properties, with a view to bringing the former to production.
Mineweb first revealed the company's president, Bryce Roxburgh's, ideas to split in two last November - see Exeter's golden choices, and now this has come about with shareholder approval received with 99.83% in favour, with the final order agreeing the split granted by the Supreme Court of British Columbia on March 12th. The agreement should now be closed by March 22nd, with the distribution date for Extorre shares to Exeter's shareholders the day following. The shares have received preliminary approval for listing on the TSX, and while they are not yet to be listed on the NYSE-AMEX register, the new company plans to apply for listing on the OTCQX exchange for its U.S. shareholders and subsequently on the NYSE-AMEX. Listing is subject to Extorre meeting all listing requirements of those exchanges and receiving exchange acceptances of listing applications.
Exeter shares themselves will trade "ex-distribution" on the TSX on March 18, 2010 and on the NYSE-AMEX on March 24, 2010.
On closing, the new company, Extorre, will hold all of Exeter's former interest in the Argentinian Cerro Moro and Don Sixto Projects as well as its other Argentinian Patagonian exploration projects and an initial $25 million in capital from Exeter. Initial focus will be on development of the Cerro Moro Project, while exploration drilling will continue to test for new high grade vein targets. Exeter itself will continue to hold and focus on advancing its Caspiche Project.
Part of the reason for the split relates to the huge differences in project parameters between Caspiche and Cerro Moro and will enable two separate management teams to concentrate on two very different projects. Caspiche looks to be rivalling Barrick's Cerro Casale in size and grade, and so far has an inferred mineral resource estimate of 1,117 million tonnes at a grade of 0.55 grams per tonne gold and 1.12 grams per tonne silver including 1,017 tonnes at a grade of 0.22% copper. This equates to in-situ inferred resources of 19.6 million ounces of gold, 40 million ounces of silver and 4.84 billion pounds of copper (a total of 32.4 million gold equivalent ounces). The size of this deposit suggests a multi-billion dollar development to bring a large open pit to production and is therefore markedly different to the skills and financing necessary for the smaller Cerro Moro project.
The Cerro Moro project, as it is much smaller in scope and less costly to bring into production could be mined with a series of relatively small narrow open pits and by underground methods, being similar to AngloGold's Cerro Vanguardia which is relatively nearby in Argentina's Patagonia area. A mine here can be brought on stream relatively quickly by new company, Extorre, without necessarily having to bring in a jv partner. The current resource at Cerro Moro stands at 646,000 ounces gold equivalent at a grade of 18 grammes per tonne gold equivalent. This is almost entirely on the high grade Escondida vein, and with a number of other significant vein structures already delineated, the eventual resource will be very much larger. A new resource statement, which will still be primarily based on the Escondida vein drilling, is due next month.
The company split will enable two separate management teams to concentrate wholly on two very different types of projects, and is a move which Exeter management feels will strongly enhance shareholder value.
