Just to give you an idea on what Australia can expect as Overseas Investments flood our shores in the coming months.
Mega Uranium is planning to spend $40mln on its projects for 2007. Much will be centred in Australia. There is also mention of the Oasis project.
Now considering GGY has 750,000 shares of MGA, it is expected to open around $9.00. Now that equates to a 50% gain in GGY's investment considering the price at the time was $6.00.
GGY will do very well out of the Mega deal in the long term.
