Another omission from the latest update was the cost savings that we were promised as part of the raise. The raise told us
“The net proceeds of the Capital Raising will primarily be used to reduce oil production operating expenditure at Heron-1 through a low-cost switch from diesel fired power to grid electricity…”
In November they told us this hadn’t been done
“The infrastructure connecting Heron-1 to the national electricity grid is in place and ready to be energised. The committee required under the regulations to inspect and certify the installation and to approve its start up requires sign off from the provincial governor and this has not yet been provided. We are following up with the governor's office and we have sought the assistance of industry regulator, the Mineral Resources and Petroleum Authority of Mongolia (MRPAM), to expedite this so that the grid connection can be commissioned and cost savings on power generation can start to be realised. Until the grid connection is energised, power will continue to be supplied by the onsite generator and operations will not be interrupted.“
I’m unsure whether the above will be impacted by the winter shutdown, ie whether the failure to get it sorted means the savings are lost over winter.
