Some of the better prospects are still valued at market caps that would put them in range to buy out solid mining companies. At the current pricing, I'll be buying LUN as the current price vs. the buyout price would make some money given the current economic conditions.
It might make some money, but not as much as you expect. The max cash consideration is 2.4 bn. Lundins market cap is 4 bn so the rest is going to be made up of equinox shares which is 1.3x their price.. assuming that the prices hold, that's $6.5. So assuming you get a prorated share of the cash consideration and the value of equinox, your take home is close to the share price of lundin.
