Oyster approval and musings6 Jun 2019 22:22
As per earlier posts I bought in early today while I did some further due diligence and research as thought it may have continued to rally ajeadof vote (wrong I was). After reading some more I am happy, even though I bought in high 6's grrrrr.
Half yearly report clearly shows they are confident and are already working to progress the asset. 'Northbay and Gunsynd are currently in discussions with a third party to raise money for the Subco to progress further work on the Madagascar licence. We maintain our belief that this asset has great potential. This change in strategy will hopefully see that realised. Advancing this project is now a priority for Gunsynd'.
Decent cash in bank following UKOG sale of interest and share disposal, plus other assets with value not miles from current mcap. So comfortable the additional oyster assets are not very baked into the price yet despite the rise. Well done to those in early and riding free (swines!!). :)
With our assets and if we get 30% approved even on lower end you could argue this should be 2 - 4 times higher on approval alone approx 2-4 million conservatively. Conservatively as I am sure uncertainty will attribute a lower value initially.
In terms of approval. Obviously never any guarantees, but I do believe most PIs wont bother. The other significant holders circa 20% or just over will vote in our favour and Oyster have been encouraging support. Having looked at the resolutions I think its in their favour as dealing with the debt allows them to execute their plan to change name to ZTR and do a stock consolidation. Its basically gets the weight off there back as they service the debt. Ultimately with no cash to advance the project themselves, and nov to april being rainy/cyclone season in madagascar, they would be fecked if they keep the asset themselves anyway.
Overall I am more comfortable now. Gun are financially solvent, the approval of transfer of assets doesn't seem baked in and I think it has a good chance to do really well short term.
Apologies for the essay, just thought may as well post.
One last thing....I read in an oyster rns that the presidential decrees were provided to oyster, which mentions grant of an extension of the current exploration phase of the 4 zones in block 1101 to July 2019. Anyone know about any progress to extend or agree that grant?
Bottom line though is all that can be sorted if approved. Gun will probably have to strategise and formalise approvals and any funding initially anyway. With work commencing after cyclone season 2020. If the transfer of asset is approved it should add a nice chunk to the value here. I will be happy with 150-200% accounting for a lower initial value of the asset on initial approval. Fingers crossed. Thoughts welcome.
