I think mgt have always known what they have to do. Huge credit to Segun Lawson, a founder who has kept his eye on the ball to deliver one stunning project with almost 100% debt finance of one sort or another, into a mature project with massive cashflow (tx in part, oc, to PoG).
That cashflow has not only enabled drilling + PFS of MLE + nearby deposits, but also further, equally company making, projects in Senegal/C'ote d'Ivoire whose capex can likely be largely financed from cashflow, if that's judged the optimal way forward.
Then there always options to sell/farm down, and who knows if at some point a TO comes calling.
Downsides ; well, country risk must be a consideration in W Africa, esp Nigeria, despite it being well managed by Segun as far as we can see. And MLE/Douts PFs is taking longer than expected, tho seemingly for good reason.
All in all, great company, metrics, etc, but behind all of that sits the founder, again, huge credit to him.
