ok so the 70% is for the ex works model, it makes sense just seems a bit steep. perhaps they're planning to sell in quantities lower than a full 20FT container load which will increase logistics costs quite a bit.
that's still 9.9m a year with the discount, assuming RE prices don't increase/decrease. I still can't get my head around that discount rate though can anyone enlighten me as to why it might be so large?
the size of the discount is the only thing that has surprised me, i think we discussed this some time ago shakes.
i can't see the logic for such a large discount, i just hope it's a worst case indicator and not the reality the the board has agreed to (what seem to be) poor terms with a large player in their early days...
Hi Monarch, actually it's because there seem to be long periods where the live SP is frozen, which hasn't happened on this share in the past. Have a look back through the BB, i've been here a while!
Can't imagine there would be value in diluting further, it would be a ridiculous amount of shares for naff all back, better to sell and use the funds to carry forward a single asset into production?
correct, local relationships and political neutrality are some of their key strategies to mitigate the country risk. They have even organised local football matches etc.
it only mentions fuel within the potential risks area, this isn't an issue for us as we are indeed quite manual.
This is however due to the nature of how the product is being mined in a low-capex manner and using local workforce, production forecasts have increased so i do not see technology as a potential or a problem.
