RE: First Heron 1 Cash In – A Milestone the Doubters Didn’t See Coming18 Jun 2025 13:03
What’s interesting is where is the oil we sent to PC? My understanding is they’ve now sold it, but are arbitrarily deciding to withhold 30% of the value, just in case the authorities decide theres extra tax to pay.
Yet despite that, they’ve give us the amount due pre royalty etc
“Gross proceeds of $1.18 million were received” (RECEIVED)
They then let us make good the royalty payable
“After payment of royalty and the government's share of the revenue, Petro Matad's net receipt from this payment is $0.81 million.”
Surely this shows it’s our job to pay the government their share?
Perhaps I’ve misread and they deducted the government royalty before paying us? Either way only 800k has landed, 5 months from being told the stored oil at that time was worth 600k to us. Was that pre royalties etc?
As ever, more questions than answers. Some might say there’s Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt here.
Others call it a tree shake, despite it being June when the MMs apparently always chase it up. Funny old game!
