Just a few things18 Nov 2018 19:48
A few points from the last RY interview have remained with me.
To very clearly state that AMC will not be drilling next year is important as I think it is finally showing the shift from explorer to pre production (sale sign truly up). I think that RY has always been extremely comfortable with the exploration and perhaps part of the reason for the delay in PFS was that his focus was on the 2018 season.
The strategic plan that is mentioned as very close should give a clear path that AMC intend to follow towards production. I am very interested in its content and the timescales. Putting this out to the market will show an intent that AMC will be judged upon.
The share price is rubbish at the moment (although it suits me as a buyer). The resource is excellent, the future demand and location look good, so whats holding it back.
I think that there are two key elements, 1, The difficulty of western institutional investors to get involved due to Russian location and 2, Whilst the PFS has been delayed for the right reasons, RYs credibility has taken a massive hit with PIs (traders & holders).
I maintain that RY has done a great job so far and must stay involved, however, i don't think our board have the right mix going forward into the next phase to deliver the takeover. I suspect quite a few holders and watchers share my view on this.
Absolutely no concern for me here though, a clear strategy close, a updated PFS close, discussions occurring with interested parties. I get the feeling that 2019 is going to be a very different year for AMC.
What I will add is that should we now go into an AGM with nothing new or tangible to show that the plan is sound and being followed then it will be difficult to not voice displeasure via votes.
