With the surge in gold prices, and the surge in PDI share price, I bet they go to market sooner than later.
PRU would no doubt participate given that the strike price for the CR will be at a discount to the SP, and they will have a fair bit of money to splash.
I am in for the short term play, don't know what will happen long term.
A nice 20% return will do me nicely.

PRU will surely make a bid for the rest of PDi it does not own.
PDI market cap today is $670 mill AUD.
Given PRU already owns $134 million woth of PI shares, that leaves $5 0 odd to spend to get the lot.
Allowing for a 20% premium brings it back to $670 mill AUD.
The latest PRU quarterly has PRU with 643 mill USD in cash and bullion, $84 mill in investments, plus USD300mill in undrawn debt.
So they could just swallow the lot.
Given they have been producing around 130 mill USD per quarter from their own mines. it would not take long to replenish the reserves.
Maybe they will wait until the EISA permit is completed.

in the current climate, I don't expect to see takeover of anything in West Africa, unless its by an org that has paid off the government and getting it on the cheap.Sold out of PDI a couple of weeks ago @debtfree on the RSG issues and also wanting to lock in some profits. Still hoping it holds up for the yearly comp but I don't know. Even with gold running again another Junta might make a similar play soon and they'll all be in the toilet. The West African discount premium is alive and well. Sad they couldn't manage this all a bit better for the good of their own people.
I can't see that this deposit is going to turn into anything significant. Perhaps it gets bigger at depth once they track these shoots but while there's some OK grades the intersections are pretty thin and it's only about 200x200 ish.
The cross section B-B gives a decent indication of how lightly mineralised this blob is. No idea how they're interpreting the mineralised area down there in the bottom left when there's no drilling done into it.

I have a subscription to newsrush - and here is the summary of the latest report:

no problem - happy to help.That's an interesting site and summary.
Most is easily picked out of the report but the risks, positives and negatives are another step in evaluating the announcement.
They probably need to add in the general risk that it's West Africa and the Junta could change the goal posts at any moment.
Thanks.
Positives
- Multiple high-grade gold intercepts were discovered at Fouwagbe, exceeding expectations.
- The updated geological interpretation supports further drilling and resource definition.
- Resource definition drilling is progressing well at both Fouwagbe and Sounsoun targets.
- Maiden Mineral Resource estimates are expected in early 2025 for both targets.
Negatives
- Deeply weathered profile at Fouwagbe (up to 200m) and lack of outcrop make interpretations challenging.
- The relationship between drilling orientation and mineralized structures may introduce sampling bias.
Risks
- The deeply weathered profile at Fouwagbe (up to 200m below surface) and lack of outcrop may impact the accuracy of geological interpretations.
- Uncertainty regarding the relationship between drilling orientation and the orientation of key mineralised structures could introduce sampling bias.
- Permit renewal process is ongoing for the exploration permits.
no problem - happy to help.
I find it - newrush - great for the summaries etc. Makes life a hell of a lot easier.
Sold out of PDI, the chance for a takeover within the short term has evaporated I reckon.

Here Comes the funding for takeover of PDI.Two anns out this morning.
A presentation that said they're 'well funded'.
Then, 60 minutes later, a TH for a CR.
