Funding options.27 Jan 2025 09:38
Funding: How we fund 2025 is not known yet but there are options.
1: Mongolia/Petrovis option but Reserve based loan also an option (these are my preference).
2: DQE / profit share deal, markets may see this as the best option.
3: Share issue would be my last choice, if we go this route then its up to MATAD to decide 2025 work program and monies required, I see two options, full blown or limited share issue.
Full blown we raise enough for remedial works on H1, H2, GOBI plus drill H3 and H4 (or similar program), assuming H3 and H4 end up as producers then taking the full blown fund raise will would still benefit investors, even more so in the long term.
Limited share issue we raise only enough to bring H1 to its full production potential which has been estimated circa 600 bbl/d plus and enough for remedial works on H2 and/or GOBI.
Even an H1 producing 600 bbl/d we have post costs revenue of 10 million over 12 month period plus whatever H2 and/or GOBI adds, cost of this limited work program circa 4 million, spring drill-ing/work program starts early April.
Fact, no one knows how we will be funded but there are options. Also quite possible MB throws a curve ball and finds a yet unknown option.
It’s a case of wait see.
