BoD following through20 May 2021 13:31
The BoD have clearly followed through with their strategy and I'm confident they will continue to do so.
The EGM RNS said "The Directors are confident that the ability to allot securities and demonstrate a capacity to develop the Kola PGM and battery metals district independently of other strategic options available to the Company"
Now that has been done, this morning's RNS said: :" The net proceeds of the placing are intended to be used primarily to finance the joint venture with Rosgeo."
And: "The Board is confident that this strategic financing allows us to take Rosgeo JV to the next level, while Eurasia and its advisers are focused on advancing our strategy as announced on 12 May 2021."
So I'm inclined to believe them when they say (in the Rosgeo RNS) "we are going to roll out the EPCF structure we put in place for Monchetundra to the Additional Assets significantly strengthening our position in the open pit PGM and battery metals district of Kola"
.
Another point regarding Japan:
EGM RNS: "The Directors also welcome aboard Tamerlan Abdikeev as our new Non-Executive Director and the head of Eurasia in Japan, who has already added significant value by bringing interested parties from Japan"
Today's RNS: "Director Tamerlan Abdikeev's experience with Japanese EPC contractors, opens new doors."
.
Take the two together and what do you get? We were in an FSP to sell the company, then Rosgeo came along and is so huge that we wanted to pursue that. So we've come out of the FSP to sell MT only. Now we need to finance our bit to drawn down the EPCF from a Japanese partner and get to work on the JVs.
104.6M oz of Pt @$1200 is worth $125.5Bn
Which is about £88Bn
Of which we have currently 75%, so that's about £66Bn
Taking 9.5% as in-situ value that's worth about £6.3Bn
That's something like £2.20 a share.
Fun times ahead.
