Time to get a move on ..............30 Dec 2025 11:00
I cannot believe that these two clowns - Hamilton and Wallace that is - are making such hard work of the rather simple decision to let the off-takers fund the Hussar re-entry/extended drill. It's a complete no-brainer, especially as the off-takers appear to have proposed this in the first place and taking into account that GEX, having ended up on the wrong market for placings (AIM would have been a better option not the Main Market), haven't got a pot to p*ss in. There is no alternative, or certainly not a better one, than to let these very eager off-takers fund the initial and very important first drill.
The only conditions, as far as I can see, are for GEX to keep at least 50% of the ownership and to remain as operators so this will not need further approval from DMPE. Also, considering that the off-takers will have control and I assume 100% ownership from the well-head onwards, it would be beneficial and sensible for GEX to keep control and operatorship of the initial stages up to off-take. Will the GEX management please say "Yes, please" and get the deal signed.
As soon as the deal is agreed and pre-drill work commences and the rig is mobilised to site, there is guaranteed to be a massive rise in the share price and m/cap as this is a very big prospective resource and, as was seen when HE1 started their drill campaign in Tanzania, the bigger the prospect the higher the share price and m/cap.
QHE, previously Mosman, have a current m/cap of nearly 4 times that of GEX but with a prospective resource of only 1 Bcf of Helium it is never going to reach the highs of the bigger players. HEX, if I remember correctly, had a pre-drill resource of 3.8 Bcf's - quite a lot but not a huge amount. HE1 was around 100 Bcf's, hence the large pre-drill valuation, while GEX top the list at the moment with Hussar having an unrisked 2U Prospective (Recoverable) Resource of c.196 Bcf's of helium and that is why this will absolutely soar as soon as GEX can get the full funding for the Hussar drill.
By the way, with no further dilution pre-drill, a £50/£60 m/cap would give a share price of 40p/50p and that would still be a discount to the HE1 pre-drill m/cap (which peaked at £144M) and yet GEX are operating in a much better environment than HE1. Blimey, HE1 even had to buy a rig as there just weren't any suitable ones available without shipping one all the way from the UK. Australia is a booming commodity marketplacet and everything is in place already, hence why GEX have off-takers fighting for the chance to cash in on this opportunity - that is as long as GEX can arrange the funding for the first drill.
Come on management, please get this deal signed.
