I think we're interpreting Stan's posts differently.

He states pretty clearly that he'll think the purchase of 70% will go through, and wants it to.

He also states that old mate Jayse is carrying on as though it's a done deal (which it isn't) in much the same way as he did whilst VRC were going through the DD process in relation to those gold tenements last year. In my opinion, Stan is spot on in this. The history he refers to is entirely relevant.

I can't see anywhere in any of Stan's posts where he says that the likelihood of the current thing going through is more or less likely than the gold thing going through.
