RE: IMPORTANT: TPDC's Reserves Numbers....30 Jan 2025 19:41
Because if they took it private BP, AEX and therefore ARA, would no longer have access to very cheap capital markets and shareholders who fund 71% of the costs and 71% of the risk on any exploration and dev before then, having largely derisked the assets, selling it on to their "cornerstone investors" for a fraction of its real value....
There have been umpteen times in the past when the sp was a fraction of what it is today and AA could have bought AEX for not much more than the $40m that it paid for their 50% Farm- in to Ruvuma; if they were ever going to do it that would have been the time. But even then in doing so they would have killed the goose that lays the golden eggs - that is you, me and every other shareholder for their continued capital injections de-risking licenses for their paymasters - ARA.
