RE: What is really happening with prem16 May 2020 21:00
Shaw River ran its own mini inferred resource in 2012, but by 2016 it only exported 14,000 tonnes to China in the September quarter (2015), and was targeting a 300,000t a year operation in 2016. It failed, even though prices for manganese went down quite a way, it could not support itself or other projects and Shaw ultimately went bankrupt, This, even though "extensive technical due diligence had been undertaken; Shaw River had concluded that there was excellent potential
to increase the manganese inventory."
Hence the sale to MNH, however MNH in two years have failed to turn a profit, even though it has its own machinery and plant; with the historic information it still cannot even make a profit.
If you want to see a correlation, look at RHA, it operated oh so briefly on a old inferred resource, had no DFS ever done, and was placed in care and maintenance, just like Shaw had to do and no doubt without Prem's loan would have had to do too.
