Speedie,
This stage two funding was the most (still is) important factor in determining value for the PI (LTH). Taking CF at his word, the stage 2 lenders did not like the risk of the shafts and the shaft build contracts. Risk appetite should have been determined prior to going to market... maybe goal posts were moved, who knows. Whether it was JPM that led CF or vice versa we will never know. But CF has been paid the big bucks and carries the can, not JPM.
My view is that CF was overly ambitious in trying to prevent dilution and bring poly 4 to market at break neck speed, very noble. But, ironically, this set back will result in everything he wanted to avoid... big dilution and delayed operational mine.
We move on.
