IMO Solo is now in a far better position than our past operator Aminex. The farm out deal will be voted through 4th January and then over the next two month the deal will finalise. First cash call is likely to be $300k for our share of new seismic data, far less than many thought. One would hope than soon after the deal completes Kilwani will be producing again and then comes the big drill C1, previously known as NT3. IMO the drill is unlikely to happen before June, which gives Solo plenty of time to sell their HH shares at 2p plus. If the drill proves up as expected, the Zubs will hopefully dig a little deeper into their pockets - my view would be a sale in the region of $75 mill for all our Tanzanian assets.
By then Helium 1 would hopefully have gone IPO and we could even see the company pay a final dividend before its closure. Unfortunately, I cannot see a final SP / dividend of more than 8 - 10p a share which will only help those long term holders that average down at these low levels. Many hurdles still to jump over, but hopefully by March 2019 we will have a far stronger operator who can for once get things done.
I have no doubt Ritson fell out with the Aminex Board as IMO they were and are completely incompetent. Brain Hall and Jay lined their own pockets, did not protect the asset and I feel they lied about their great relationships with the Tanzanian government. The sooner they are taken out of the equation the better.
