Actually peb, there are two fundamental reasons why it hasn't kicked off at GCM. The main being that the government of Bangladesh hasn't given the coal mine the go-ahead. That decision's been hanging in the balance for years, over a decade. I used to be a holder years back. I am again as a result of significant progress with JV partners. However, the mine still hasn't had the go-ahead, meaning that the JDA 'signing has limited affect. The other problem, just so we know, is that the recent results showed losses etc. All of which should've been expected but has taken the market a couple of days to chew over.
The reason I posted it is because even though the coal mine hasn't got go-ahead - while NCCL has for theirs, indeed full government backing - a Chinese giant (CGGC) was still prepared to sign a JDA with GCM (or a JDFA) as they have called it.
So what does that say?
My own extrapolation is that if a prospective JV partner is prepared to sign deals with a company when a mine go ahead isn't confirmed, all is in the air, what chance us??
Every chance!
On JDA completion, unlike GCM, we'll have an SP many many multiples of this. Even a holding RNS stating discussions going well will take is to double digits.
So the short of it, we're way better positioned GCM.
Good luck folks! :-)
