So it's not massive dollars we're speaking but if you saw my last post I confirmed that prior to August Sprott owned only 1M Teranga shares in any of their funds and from August to date Cormart (buys on behalf of Sprott I assume) has added 1.5M net shares as the biggest buyer since the summer bottom. Probably only represents about a million bucks but shows that Teranga was still one they added to out of all the stocks that have gone up since the major summer bottom:
Also - I have clarified biggest risk for Teranga-Oromin merger is that the Oromin owns 43.5% of 90% of their deposit (Senegal has free interest of 10%) and JV partner owns other 46.5%. Oromin is operator I understand but risk is that JV partner could throw up some serious resistance into getting Oromin's deposit into production anytime soon.
Teranga has a CIL (carbon-in-leach) mill and Oromin's feasiblity study envisions a CIL mill so there doesn't appear to be too many barriers to combining operation. Oromin's mine has about 2.5M open pit ounces at 2.49 g/t which is high for West Africa. Oromin's share is 43.5% of this.
TGZ up today while rest of sector down. I think we'll see $1.00 be year end if gold over $1500 and merger complete.
