I agree Richy - if they do a cash raise then after the MRE2 would be the better time. Last Yr they did the placing before the MRE but maybe they knew the initial MRE may disappoint slightly and so took the chance to raise when they could. This time round MRE2 being the blockbuster we are assuming it will be, then a raise would be far better afterwards.
To be honest I'm not even sure it will be needed - options could bring in some good levels of cash - and we may not need 12 rigs a spinning next yr, ie we could lower the cash burn - which I believe has been reduced significantly anyway.
Finance options may reduce the need for a raise - if we are indeed going down the finance option (with a view to production / or as our chess move to increase any takeover value) which could be secured on the back of MRE2 results and PEA results.
I was quite sure a raise was not on the cards - its just the mention by Canada bank that got me thinking - but then if they have got their NAV values mixed up, then I'm not sure how much of their report is to be believed !
Hey Ho - what will be will be - either way raise or no raise - sale or no sale - this is going to reach levels which many on here have only dreamed of - the only question is how and when in my mind
