Yes, a difficult position indeed. I feel Bannor summed it up well too, in reference to the recent RNS, regarding the requirement of our approval to allow Bird and Co to issue yet more shares for general purposes. It's the general purposes part that irks most of us I feel. Had the RNS referred to the additional shares being required for a specific purpose, party or reason, one which would also have to be value-enhancing going forward, then that perhaps would have been acceptable. Short-term misery for longer term benefits.
However, this hasn't occurred, so we would, in effect, be continuing to allow Bird and Ed the freedom to do as they please, without a specific plan, no JV mentioned, short-term misery for us, but also potentially longer-term misery to boot. As they haven't outlined what the shares would be for, why they are required, in view of performance to date, and the irresponsible action of the last placing, it is difficult to trust that they will not abuse the additional power at their disposal, should their request be granted.
There is no shareholder value left here in truth, and I'm talking for existing investors of many years, even though Mutsk itself may not be at all bad in itself. The management of ORE is the acute problem, and has been all along.
Best regards anyway Castaaway.
Good luck in your endeavours elsewhere.
