The problem EDL had raising funds was one of their own making. In 2017 the start of production and into the start of 2018, EDL gave the impression that they would be producing enough coal to to satisfy customers ie. 10,000 tonnes per month with the option of selecting only those that could be trusted to pay. They also gave the impression that the demand was in excess of 10.000 tonnes. this was followed by some shall we say iffy RNSs and long periods of silence, the end result was a pile of fines and rubble with only a few hundred tonnes sold leaving them more or less broke.
I remember a comment from J. Malaihollo in one of his RNS's saying that 1000 tonnes had an income value of $100,000 when transport etc. was considered, I have no doubt he regretted saying that.
So it is understandable the PIs reluctance to raise funds.
I fully understand that with ILTL involved we are/will be in a different ball game, if the current production was that good we would certainly know about it , there is a huge market out there and we have the resources to supply it , at the moment it is just a waiting game.
