As a general rule, I look at current price and trend of resources. So called expert predictions are invariably and usually way off the mark.

"Sintoukola is well situated for key export markets
Product is planned to be sold into the African and South American markets. Brazil is a very large and growing consumer of imported MoP."
Hi 99icecream, thanks for that. Brazil makes more sense. However, the April 2023 Brazilian MoP price appeao to be around US $415 pt from another source (seemingly reputable).

Note price still appears to be in downtrend..
Good answer! Just "tickling your spare rib"; I respect your opinions :-)
Sport analogies? Oh, extrader..
Uneconomical is nonsense, their mine planning is at around that level. If it falls further though, it would be a concern.
Quite a spectacular fall really..

Meanwhile over at Kropz (KRPZ), the rock phosphate price is still at all time high of $345 a tonne (chart going back to 1960's). Expecting juicy production number (50 000tpm or more, Elandsfontein) there end of month AGM update.
The annual results not being votable is same as last year, but should get results by 30th June anyway. Plus the should be general projects update too.
"Notice of Annual General Meeting
Kropz Plc (AIM: KRPZ), an emerging African producer and developer of plant nutrient feed minerals, announces that it will hold its Annual General Meeting at the offices of Memery Crystal at 165 Fleet Street, London, EC4A 2DY on 30 June 2023 at 1:00 pm. The full Notice of Annual General Meeting (the "Notice") will be posted to shareholders today.
It should, however, be noted that completion of the audit of the 31 December 2022 Financial Statements and Annual Report (the "2022 Accounts") is currently in progress and, it has not been possible to publish these prior to the issue of this Notice and therefore no resolution to receive and adopt the 2022 Accounts is being proposed. The Company expects to publish its 2022 Accounts by 30 June 2023.
Following the publication of the 2022 Accounts, a separate meeting will be held later in the year at which such a resolution will be proposed."
Yeah, could dummy sell up to 150 000 shares this morning. Probably have buy order.
Sorry, ZAR 597.5m total this year. I reckon total debt could be in order of £60-£100m?Can't be bothered totting it all up, easier to wait for accounts. Even a £100m could be paid off fairly quickly, two years or less?( at current phosphate prices)
No worries. Nice debt list, you can add ZAR 30m for 25 April 2023, see RNS. So ZAR 580m debt this year (£24m), can add this to what there will be on 2022 accounts to be released end of month. If they can get steady production output to planned 1mtpa, the debt should be no problem, imo.
Hi Jain's, I cannot see a tr1 in January 2023, can you point me to it please.
I believe Colin Ikin is the ex- chairman of Cominco Resources before it was bought out by Kropz.
The May 2023 rock phosphate price still sitting at all time high of $345 per tonne. Check the price chart going back to 1960. If there ever was a time to mine rick phosphate, it is now! Kerching!

.. Extrader's account? It's all becoming very woolly.
Another defunct project, the fertilizer factory. RoC is littered with broken dreams. If they get their 'sh&t' together this time round, they could be a very very rich country.
Plus Kropz (KRPZ) is likely to announce funding and go ahead of their Hinda mine near Pointe Noire soon. This was discussed in the meeting with RoC president Nguesso in April this year.
..if you knew the company was generating an estimated £7-8 million free cash flow per month? ie 50 000 tonnes per month production. Well it probably is and we will have confirmation of production end of month.
Significantly there was there was no bridge loan drawdown in May. The drawdowns have previously been like clock in last week of each month. If they are now reliably producing 50 000 tpm phosphate concentrate or more, they should be self funding and start paying down debt. A huge milestone if April was indeedthe last debt draw down. We will know at end of the month update..
