"Someone (I can't remember who exactly) mentioned that VD would be sold first and I kind of think the same way; I have a feeling that next summer VD will have new owners (PEA is due around May or so)."

You mean someone mentioned that VD COULD be sold first. No one knows for sure what will happen. It was thought this could happen because the type of mine it is is easier to get up and running and the proximity to currently producing miners using the same methods of extraction.
