Sorry trying to work at the same time as respond here.
Mornington, take a look at all the other posts that were sent to McFirth stating what I was buying just before hitting the button. You'll find they add up to 6.5m shares. And my average was pretty much bang on 1.1p. Dig a bit deeper.
Sanboy, you are correct that it's just my opinion, just like most people on here. You are also correct that the market doesn't always ascribe reasonable value to companies based on their development stage. These stocks are driven up by the herd. But the bubble pretty much always pops at some point. GGP is a good example. 88e and PANR are others. The herd get excited about RESOURCES and not the reality of when these companies will stop burning cash / diluting, and start making money.
Smarttrades, apologies my maths are slightly out on dilution. Here's the workings:
- Beisa 220m shares on final approval. PLUS £7.5m cash (I thought this cash could be converted to shares).
- Henkries South 450m total (200m on signing, and 250m on 10mlb RESOURCE). Note the RESOURCE number will be easy to hit, but they'll need to spend a lot of money proving it up. Beisa has $30m spent years ago.
- AUO - further 260m shares to be issued for Henkries FS.
In total for these two acquisitions on close (in the next few months), plus AUO funding (Henkries FS) = 930m shares. These are all yet to hit the market. So about 66% dilution. And there's over £7.5m cash to be paid.
Note: This doesn't include any more dilution for the third acquisition. If we assume a similar level of 450m shares you get to double the share count. Could be higher or lower, but you're getting up to 3bn shares in issue. There will also be more advisor and director fees.
And then you have AUO for any funding of up to USD75m to develop the Henkries mine. I read somewhere they will be taking a chunk of equity for this, which from memory was close to 30%. This would be absolutely fair and you want your main financier to have that much skin in the game. They would also want to make as much as possible from these projects. So add them up and you can see how 4bn isn't hard to arrive at.
Definitely money to be made. Mainly by AUO, Beisa, and Henkries Sth prior owners. But for PIs it's about timing. Or you need to wait years before the company is in production. Don't forget the circa $65m cost for Henkries mine development, USD$10m (£7.5m) up-front cost for Beisa, and at least USD$30m to be spent on Beisa and Henrkies Sth resource delineation.
So by my estimates you've got 4bn shares in issue and USD$100m debt by the time Henkries is producing and acquisitions are made plus resources defined. PIs will own far less of the company post dilution. Remember the 930m shares are guaranteed dilution just for the current 2 deals and a FS. The third acquisition and AUO stake dilution are TBC.
There's your workings. Some of you need to do a bit more research (and less b!tching). What's the current sp now?
