RE: REALITY - Rises Cannot be Held Due to Ongoing PLACING Needs!25 Apr 2025 14:51
Stokie, if you think ORCP have a free carry, please explain why they just raised £318K to be used “primarily used to progress the development of the projects in Australia”
What do you think is happening here? The RNS you quoted says ORCP has a free carry “until the joint venture agreements are formalised and signed”. What do you think happens then? Don’t worry, I’ll tell you, ORCP will have to pay for 20% of all costs or have its ownership of the asset diluted. In other words, the project won’t be developed much before the JV because RIversgold aren’t going to pay more than they need to.
So the placing money is probably going to be spent on Naheed’s salary plus legal costs of negotiating the JV agreement (which is not free). The chances of ORCP keeping 20% of the asset without contributing any more money is zero. Where do you think that money will come from? Dilution, right? OK, do you know how much it costs to get a gold mine from the stage it’s at to production? Based on ORCP’s market cap of £1.5M, what do you think the share price will by the time they’ve raised enough money? Don’t bother thinking about it, cos there’s no way it gets that far with ORCP keeping anything close to 20%, if it ever goes anywhere at all.
