I don’t think so, Devex.
Frontera also tweeted on 1 June about Georgia’s strenthening economy:
“#Georgia’s #economy grew 5.5 percent year-on-year in the first four months of 2018, preliminary official data showed on Wednesday, up from 4.2 percent in the same period last year.”
I think this tweet was along the same lines, to advertise the robust economy of Georgia, rather than point towards any funding from BoG.
I admire your optimism however! The bottom line is we aren’t going anywhere until Zaza gives us some good news about Taribani oil production from Eldari A. Alternatively, confirmation of funding received for Niko on 1 Sept would also restore some confidence, if Zaza feels he has to wait to co-mingle Zone 19 news with Zones 9,14,15. Unfortunately my gut feeling given the lack of timely news is that Eldari A is not producing very much (<250 bbls/d? with EWT) and Eldari B is now going to be the focus going forward. This was made quite obvious from the recent WHI report. This means extra funding and the next trick Zaza has to pull out of the hat would be where to get this money from without further dilution. I doubt it will be from the BoG or the EBRD.
I think our current SP fairly reflects our perceived operational ‘failures’ to date, and it is down to Zaza to release an update soon to try to restore some confidence. It is sad that PIs have to clutch at straws like a picture of a gas flare or tweets about BoG’s profits to try to maintain enthusiasm and faith in our company, which will only be resolved by a detailed RNS regarding our operational milestones. How many days into EWT now? I’ve lost count. Maybe they’re drilling into Eldari C as well?.. why not eh?..
Seriously, still heavily invested, still waiting…
ATB, Champion.
