Morning.
Sure, if I'd been in this at 6s/7s then I'd 100% have been out at mid-teens myself but what was set in motion with the big gap up to 9s ahead of the 10p placing was a break of the prevailing downtrend (very large Descending Wedge from way back at 20s+) with a high at 18s substantially higher than seen for a very long time here and that's the bull return-to point in the short-medium term but for now it's just a matter of collecting shares (preferably from wobbly PIs) ahead of Mengo flow rates/production confirmation over the coming weeks so it's a hold/add for moi from here.
What's of most interest though is what happens when that 16s is beaten and becomes the new floor because then you're certainly looking at a return to 20s/30s as part of that move with a giant IH&S in play (over time) for as high as 60s-80s which, presumably, will come into play on Djeno/Vanji drill hits later in the year, certainly on a Vanji hit which would be jaw-dropping here and, so far, they seem to be doing pretty well even with the ropey drill they were using on 103 - two tonnes PSI down that deep so you need to be using pucker kit which I'm sure they'll sort for 104 :)
Finance? Well if Mengo flows @ 100s bpd then they'll build cash over time but if they want to hurry 104 up then, yes, some more money will be required from somewhere of course but various routes to solving that now you'd think, not just another equity raise but even if it came to that they've got plenty of news to drop to forward-sell another placing, quite probably higher than at 10p imo, but time will tell on that, it's not like they're on their uppers at the mo following the £5m cash injection at 10p.
A higher percentage ownership of the field is a double-edged sword of course - short-medium term cash requirements will grow but the possible longer term upside grows with it (possibly substantially) so on the face of it, it would appear to be $10m from SNPC which will pay for 104 or they need some more cash to fund the higher ownership percentage but this then becomes even more attractive going forward once the cash is squared away, however they achieve that.
