contd.
....one billion of "secondaries" in Zambia alone. First mover position, massive industry etc.
Many approaches from Companies for Jubilee to work with....
Colin suggested the chrome deal's contribution to earnings would be $800K pm ($10m pa) with no capital/opp cost.
Asked about financing the chrome deal he mentioned "extending convertible?" Asked directly about a placing, he said he obviously could not comment on that.
Colin said he and Leon are bullish on platinum. Interestingly said that the fuel cell and not electric cars (interim solution)will be the future, he said his thoughts were backed up by the Chinese. "Talking to people who will eventually want Tjate" but no rush and Tjate will be very valuable in a few years.
Asked about expansion plans, Colin said they are aware of the dangers of too rapid growth and keen to grow within means. Prefer to grow with things closer to home and with things that they currently know about rather than going across the other side of the world into the unknown etc.
Although the actual presentation did not have new numbers, Colin verbally estimated £15m earnings this year, £20m-£25m next year followed by £40m-£45m. When questioned that this may be conservative he said that his figure were not an actual forecast and if brokers/analysts think more then great.....
Colin mentioned 60K-80K PGM oz production next year without being specific.
Copper by the end of this year (I thought this had already started?).
So, as you would expect, nothing new materially disclosed. It is very evident that this is Leon's (and his team) baby and Colin is very happy to let Leon get on with it. I know Colin is not everyone's cup of tea but he presented well, a good salesman and he sold the story very well.
I am very confident to hold here and let Leon get on with continuing his good work. The opportunities here over the next few years are immense.
In addition, Riverfort Global Opps presented earlier in the evening. The used Jubilee as an example of a Comoany they had previously provided finance to (Hernic). They referred to Jubilee in their presentation as AN EXTREMELY IMPRESSIVE COMPANY.
Cup of tea time and I will then post details of my chat with Lean after the event.
