Nobody knows what is going on in the background. Facts are PM have been granted the EL – so no more delay on that. PM are resuming – meaning to begin again or continue after a pause or interruption – with JV discussions and funding. This was 4 days ago – reported in the RNS so fact. Prior to this and the granting of the EL, PM were in a much weaker position with regards JV and funding. They are now in a much stronger position. Therefore options are greater. Funding could be with a JV with PC or a loan with Petrovis, bank loan or a placing – who knows !!! Placing – I would be very surprised as this would dilute Petrovis’s holding. A small placing was previously mentioned but that has been covered off by Petrovis’s small loan previously RNS’d. PM have confirmed drilling won’t take place until next drilling season, they were honest and upfront about this. Read the stages of the government’s EL procedures – once an EL has been granted the government have 90 days to section off the area to which is to be exploited – experience with the Mongolian government – that could take you into October until you can start drilling, also take into account current Covid restrictions in Mongolia and increased cases, so pretty wise decision by PM. Ref the JV and funding look at it this way, PM as said are in a stronger position so they could think why rush into making a decision now when we don’t need the money yet, we are covered by the small Petrovis loan until after next year. Let’s get the best deal for us. Or they could think let’s get the JV and funding set up now so we are all ready for drilling season next year. As said above other than the facts reported in the RNS’s nobody outside of PM knows what’s happening, so anybody who states they do are talking crap !!!
