That was always my preference and why NST bought interest in the Tanami. I believe NST want to consolidate the whole area and Callie is the key to it all. I'm sure they've tried pursuing this, however, Newmont have made big discoveries out there in the past few years and won't be willing to part cheaply.

I've always thought that NST's large cash holding plan was for a consolidation of the Tanami or buying out the interest in the EKJV (difficult because of corporate structure). Again, my preference would be Callie and consolidation of the Tanami which would take NST over the fabled million ounce per annum that BB has always stated - which led me to believe Callie was the final piece in the puzzle for the cash hoard.

Fingers crossed!
