They the board have allowed MIN to dictate the
narrative with the focus on valuation and were out played.
MINs valuation challenge/tactic acted as a slight of hand to move focus away from the fact that MIN the 80% owner of this JV sees alot more value in the as yet unfound resources,
How much value?
Enough value to want fund the entire appraisal on their own whilst also "buying out" (they're not actually forking out any cash) NWE.
So, to not include the prospectives in the narrative is very deliberate indeed.
