RE: PC and PM deal.27 Aug 2024 16:00
Risks?
- PC/MATD/MRPAM not agreeing on their deal. I mentioned weeks back this was my last big concern and while I agree it should get sorted, the fact is it still isn't.
- Construction permit (and any other bl00dy permits we didn't know about!), and the governor who clearly doesn't like us being involved with its granting.
- Landlocked between China and Russia, the two most powerfully corrupt nations on planet earth, isn't ideal.
Plenty more, but I'll get escorted off the board.
On the positive side:
- Mongolia really do need oil and to be independent from those two corrupt neighbours.
- That refinery is going to need filling up somehow.
- We've been through that much sh.1t already, surely MATD is due a break.
- Gobi is exciting and is so big it makes Heron look like a puddle (see page 10 of presentation) and if the apparent big risk of it quite literally being trapped in can be swerved, it could be a genuine game-changer.
- There aren't many other mugs willing to work in Mongolia - just look at the tenders for new blocks and lack of take up!
I could go on, but I'd have to tell myself off for ramping.
Is that balanced enough?
