Ann: A$80m Fully Underwritten Equity Raising to Accelerate Explor, page-85

The window of opportunity on a takeover at $1B or less may be shut out very quickly. Shares on issue post capital raise are 1,105,000 (expected), so offer would be at around the 90c mark or in the vicinity of a 50% premium to the share price when it reopens to trading. Nothing to sneeze at but given the circumstances of a heavily cashed up explorer, highly prospective tenement, now revealing high grade and generally under-explored at depth, an aggressive (nothing to lose) management style and a rampaging POG, I would humbly suggest a 50% premium maybe not be enough at this opportune time for Spartan.
Next assays will likely tell the story. More good hits at NN and confirmation that Pepper is not a one hit wonder and we are off to the races - the 60 and 70cent levels could be taken out in a couple of sessions imo. Of course, if the assays don’t pan out as we’d like, a 90c takeover would look very appealing.
My opinions only.
