I think it more likely than not that we wont need a raise as we should have enough cib left before FB income comes in. It maybe close though so we will need FB income coming through by end of Q1
However, Its worth remembering that we will only be getting 13% of BA and GF income so the headline figures CB stated are nothing like what we will get. After costs and % reduction for our share I would think GF and BA would be giving us £100K to £150K a month FCF. And that may not be this year, possible after Q1 .
Nearly all of the alluvial income was from traditional alluvial work - a bit from GF. As CB stated in the evening meeting, alluvial income is unpredictable (GF income may be more robust) so we may find that alluvial income has reduced substantially next quarter - or stayed the same? It can't be relied upon though.
tbh I'm not expecting too much income from alluvial, GF and BA this year. The rains are coming and DEc Jan Feb are usually poor months for traditional alluvial income.
For me its all about FB producing its substantial, and moreover reliable income by end of Q1. I think it will. The other income, if it happens this year, will be a a nice top up.
