Robert:

I've stated a similar opinion in the past but you and I are the only ones here that think Pangea's VJ'd properties make it less attractive for a major to take them over.

Their shareholder rights plan calls for each stockholder to be allowed to buy one additional share for each share they own at 50% of market price at the time anyone acquires at least 20% of the stock of Pangea without agreement of Pangea's Board. It makes it more expensive to take them over but certainly not too difficult for any of the majors.

What is more problematical for a company like Barrick is Pangea's large number of properties which they will not control if the JV partner performs as agreed. Major producers don't want to own properties they don't control. Of course, if they can get such properties free; i.e., pay only the value of the properties they would control, such diversity of ownership doesn't present a problem.

I also agree that I don't think Pangea is looking to be taken over. All indications I've got from them is that they want their properties developed and want to collect their share of revenue from those properties while the major does all the heavy lifting and bears the financial burdens. Of course, no company announces they are for sale, unless they are broke and need a white knight.

The takeover scenario will play out depending on drill results, as it always does, as will the true value of the company. I don't want to see a takeover until we know what the company is worth and that is a ways away yet. Lots of drilling to be done on PGD's properties before we will know what's on them.
