Hi Longfell-yes quite a lot of nervousness and negativity on here and on ADVFN.
Personally I am neither negative or worried.I think the placing was an opportunistic bit of business.Could they have got a better price than 7.5p, probably, but they are in a hurry and already late and the overnight placing raised money quickly and seamlessly.It enables them to move ahead operationally while giving them a stronger position to negotiate an excellent debt deal.
However,I do now expect a very good, shareholder friendly final deal, with minimal new equity being issued.I stated earlier I was looking for $30 million at 12p.I would be happy with that,but would hope we get better.
Discounted equity raises are the norm in AIM listed mining companies, most experienced investors should know this and if they do not accept it should probably not invest in the sector.
On HZM, as mentioned above,I think the move was opportunistic, but for good sound reasons.I bought more on Friday and will continue to do so if the shares are weak next week-although this will mean that I have to cash out of other shares at unsatisfactory prices to get the funds.
Tomorrow will be interesting.
