RE: how much arcm still holds21 Dec 2018 22:35
Poorman we own 66% of 1000 square kilometres Kopara own the rest. Its not split, the whole thing is jointly owned by both companies with Kopara supposedly paying their share of costs of exploration/development.
According to Zambian law, the 400k which we are not currently prioritising has to be developed or lost, so NvS has set up a joint venture company to explore that area with us as main shareholders. Hes making sure we dont miss out on it but bringing in a partner to help with funding, so he doesnt have to ask shareholders for more cash. I didnt see any figures for the jv though, only that we will be majority shareholders, which could mean anything from 51% upwards.
Thats the way i see it and i dont think anyone is slating NvS china. Hes doing the right thing. I only said comms could be a bit better but thats just how it is. We actually do better than most companies on aim and at least get enough rns with facts. But those of us who are still a bit confused need help from others here sometimes to interpret those basic facts, which you have done quite well i should say.
I "dont think" the 400k will be part of the 9 areas were exploring but stand to be corrected.
