AGM Questions21 Jul 2023 07:17
1. 12 May 2021 we received a proposal from a credible party, 28 Oct 2021 buyers DD was complete, are these still classed as a credible party with regards to the Assets Sale, do they need to re-evaluate their DD.
2. The Group's current (as at 29 June 2023) cash position is around £40,000 and US treasury Bonds valued at £1,646,255 with the reduction since December 2022 being accounted for by £150,000 in capital expenditure, £950,000 on development expenditure on its assets portfolio, and £2,031,578 in costs.
What are the breakdown of capital expenditure & costs and anticipated monthly cash burn?
3. Reserves & Resources, why have we had no update since the JV expired on 26 Feb despite losing the rights to 8 of the assets.
4. Will the proposed changes in the BOD result in an increase or decrease of expenditure
5. NKT open pit updates, when is this due for completion
6. NYUD; is there an expiry date to take up the licence, have we paid for our 75% entitlement in full, is there any possibility of an update on the JORC. Is there a breakdown of total costs paid for the Rosgeo JV
7. Why did the BOD not immediately inform shareholders when the 2 x court cases were lodged against EUA and why no mention of either in the AR, what’s the worst case scenario we can expect
8. Why was it decided to host a virtual AGM only?
9. How many NDAs remain in place & when do they expire
10. Why was the AR not released until 3 July, when it was expected early June
11. Options; 146M. Is it possible for a breakdown of who these have been allocated to, the OPD issued by RNS on 17 July 2020 is incorrect. Can you explain why you feel it was “fair & reasonable” to extend all of these to 2 Nov 2023. In particular Alexei Churakov who has 40M.
12. "we also note recent precedent transactions which have successfully completed despite the geopolitical situation." Whats prevented/ preventing the BOD from selling our Assets?
13. James Nieuwenhuys, stated in an RNS on joining the BOD “leveraging my relationships made over more than 40 years in the mining industry and securing a deal beneficial to our shareholders". Was this achieved?
14. In the AR you stated “No further significant expenses are forecast for the Monchetundra project” Have we paid our Royalty payment of circa £187,000 for MT due in Nov 2023
15. DFS; I appreciate it was only approved just prior to the release of the AR, how long before the BOD read & digest the contents & give shareholders an overview of their thoughts. When do you intend to publish the full MT DFS contents so shareholders have the ability to analyse it for themselves. If you are not intending to publish it, can you please give us a reason why?
16. Can you clarify why there is a requirement to reinstall Resolution 6 considering it wasn’t necessary last year and you’ve advised we are fully funded for the next year.
