Adw - I think the last four raises, which cover from the beginning of exploring Heron (and admittedly a few other projects along the way), have gathered in approx $45m from shareholders and a bucket load of dilution!
Surely you’d want all that back for Heron plus a bit on top, even if only to compensate for the opportunity cost of that $45m?
As bearish and fed up as I am with MATD, I do see how it could make someone with deep pockets a lot of money. Being overly cautious, let’s say only 50% of wells flow oil, and then only at 250 bopd, we’d need to drill 72 wells to get to the company’s target of 9000 bopd. That’s $288m at the cost of $4m per well. But at $40 profit on a barrel, that’s paid off in 2 years and thereafter is picking serious $$$.
The above numbers also highlight how MATD really need help of some kind. Because MB and us piddly PI’s can’t stump up that kind of cash to get to that kind of production, production we’re told is essential for the refinery.
