RE: Still no NOA23 Jul 2024 14:05
Reflecting on the delayed company presentation, which was expected over a month ago. Apologies if it's a bit of a ramble.
We've had an RNS on Kalaka and another on Bido this past fortnight, and the NoA for Bhukia is apparently ready to be issued. All quiet on Cascades (Labola) currently, but otherwise the company has been busy with value-adding activities. Unfortunately, unless you 'know' about Panthera, the value proposition for all assets and their progress requires some hefty research, hence why the updated presentation would be welcomed.
However, I think the only reason the presentation is being held back is Bhukia. I don't think the company wants to set its stall out on this right now because it could either place itself at a disadvantage at the negotiating table or during arbitration. It's hugely frustrating that we don't know which of these (or both) it is, and also the timescales for finding out.
I also think that this is the reason the notice of arbitration hasn't been issued.
A quick "we are currently in talks with the Government of Rajasthan" or "we are awaiting the finalisation of our claim amount/[insert reason for not releasing NoA] before issuing the notice of arbitration, which will take place in Q4" would be appreciated.
