Right now I would think various mid cap cashed up aussie miners are having a look through the PFS for Ravensthorpe for any red flags.
As on paper it looks pretty sound, a payback of ~3years, reasonable infrastructure in the vicinity, and a 9year LOM for 777k oz recovered over that period (with some more work required to validate recovery rates).
For a seasoned mid cap (with proven record for developing mines) and I think MM8 presents an attractive option to add ~80k-100koz/pa (for 9years) to your production profile. Many of the these companies are sitting on $250m plus in idle cash,.... so they could lob an all script offer for MM8 shareholders then use the idle cash to fund the ~$163m capex costs.
