RE: Directors talk interview.8 Jun 2025 21:02
I'm now leaning towards supporting the sale of the SA business. Yes, there is all sorts of fluff around the financials but you don't expect to much by the way of dry numbers in an interview of this nature. And if Leon is being "economical" with the truth well that's a hazard you get for investing in the company so best to learn to live with it. Personally, I view it as optimism and events will unfold to show that some aspects will be too optimistic. As I see it, the events of the past year are not really his fault but PI's tend to take these things personally - for the most part I believe unfairly, despite the 1p options.
My key questions which I hope to be clarified through the circular are
- How as the cash proceeds from the sale to be utilised to invested in Zambia and/or pay down debt?
- How does the expanded operations in Zambia ensure the energy supply that was recently improved to cover Roan (and independent of the national power infrastructure)?
Small brain that I have but if we are sitting on 250m tons of material of 0.7% copper, attaching a processing unit there would help convert that into 1.8m tons of copper which is worth c$1.8bn and even at a margin of 10%, that's worth $180m (or 4.2p per share)
