I think Rubey means that any cash reserves RBD has are just that, as funds from the £24 million raise have already been passed to Rathlin for the 2020 work program. 18th December RNS:
The programme (at WN-A) will include pulling the existing completion assembly from the well, running a new tubing and pumping bottom hole assembly and the installation of a pumping wellhead. These operations will be followed by the running in of the pump and well rods and the installation of a surface pumping unit. The well will then be pumped to recover load fluid, directing all recovery through the test unit and incinerator. The well will be monitored for inflow and, following the EWT, will be shut in and suspended.
The estimated cost of this additional work is well within the original well test budget.
Furthermore, statutory planning permissions are in place to drill two additional wells, West Newton B-1 and B-2, the locations of which are considered to be optimal to test the Kirkham Abbey formation and test the potential of the prognosed Cadeby formation, a further, highly important and potentially high value target.
Rathlin is fully funded for the 2020 work programme.
So are ADX for Parta IMIC-1 and 2.
Subsequently RBD made the Humber '£1.4million plus 350,000,000 shares for their 16.67% of WN' deal. We await formal confirmation.
Any way you cut it there is a big disconnect between the UJO SP and RBD SP based on percentages of WN owned.
Therefore, there is only one conclusion. Yes. The SP is being held down for a 'technical' reason to allow someone to benefit from a low SP for a few more days/weeks. As B well spud approaches it is going to look more and more suspicious.
Hence the coiled spring analogy.
Basically, you were right GP when you said it should be .8p now. Still below .9p placing but closer. This close to spud and EWT makes .6p look very silly.
I think what you will see in the next few day is some very big buying. Approx 6 weeks ago this charged from .42 to .65 in the space of a day. This time it will be .6 to .8 ish, again in a day or two.
Fun and games.
