I too am wondering about the finances.
(May 26, 2023) - ...providing for an additional US$7 million revolving loan
The existing term facility component of the Amended Loan Agreement currently has a principal balance of US$25.5 million, with seventeen equal and consecutive quarterly principal payments of US$1.5 million outstanding.
Touchstone intends to use the revolving loan proceeds to maintain financial flexibility while we proceed with Royston-1X production testing operations and Cascadura facility construction where we continue to target for first production on or around June 30, 2023.
So this date has slipped by over 2 months, and I would assume that payment for gas must be somewhat in arrears. So I would expect that they have to make at least 2 of those 1.5M principle payments so far.
We also dont know the flow rate, or consequently the amount of cash they would start to receive. I would have thought money would be extremely tight.
My concern is that the presentation on the 27th September is planned to be a post raise presentation. I sold most of mine over the last few weeks, this has proved to be an excellent decision, each tranche I have sold, has seen the price drop.

operating and financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023:
$5,135,000 in quarterly capital investments primarily focused on expenditures related to the construction of the Cascadura natural gas and liquids facility and two Royston-1X production tests.
Amended our Trinidad based loan agreement in May 2023, allowing for an additional $7 million revolving loan component that was fully drawn in June 2023 to provide liquidity while we complete construction of the Cascadura facility.
· Exited the quarter with a cash balance of $10,138,000, a bank debt principal balance of $31,000,000 and a net debt position of $28,913,000.
So had $10M at the end of June, but will have paid another 1.5M loan repayment. Will be due to pay another one as well.
So that takes it down to $7M, obviously we dont know what else has been spent, but I am assuming most of that is gone on CASC and Royston.
