Pete I'm not choosing to hide anything
"I recognised that we needed funding - farm out was one option if you actually bothered to report what I actually said correctly I stated that far - out was the only likely outcome but that I would have preferred a loan or placing. But why let the truth spoil a good fantasy eh?"
It's no fantasy and you did indeed say that you would have preferred a loan or placement and I agreed with that very statement at the time but as you agree in your statement it "was the only likely outcome" and that was my point of reminding you! You knew it was coming, you told everybody it was coming, your predictions were correct so why are you and the others crying now?
"Had vike stated " furthe"r dilution he may not have got he same response." That is exactly what he did state Pete NO FURTHER DILUTION and I quote him "No further dilution for small Oil & Gas companies with a major development on the horizon in nearly unheard of". So that was jumping up and down for the sake of it and not even based on what he had actually said.
The reality you ask me to explain. As I understand it we have circa $6m ish? plus money owed to us by TPDC re dispute estimated at $2.73m plus $5 to come from the initial payments on the deal. IF those figures are correct I'm sure you will put me right if not, then we will have in the region of $14m. Now that should get KW back up and running if it is at all possible. I understand that will likely only bring in half the amounts a previously but still decent revenue not to be sneezed at. I'm not sure what is planned timing wise after remediation takes place but we are supposedly now just 17 months away from monetisation of Ruvuma and the profits coming online from that will surely self fund our other asset.
As for further development dilution, the fact is, Jay has said long ago that the plan at Nyuni was to seismic and farm out the drilling for a profit share so any dilution to be had there if required has been fully expected for at least a couple of years as far as I am aware!
So again what's all the big fuss? Pete you have been telling everybody all these things for years and everybody looks on you as captain sensible but I'm just lost as to your reaction to being proven correct.
Enjoy your sons graduation day
