In the presentation, the CEO specifically said they don't intend to increase the share count after the Andacollo acquisition, which takes us to 573.5m
in issue, so zero dilution beyond that.
It's worth tracking back. The initial Chile acquisition (Indiana) was backed by cornerstone investors like Eric Sprott who put in cash to get that project largely to production next quarter. The company then used that as a springboard to acquire the monster Andacollo project.
As Anadcollo was already a mine, albeit dormant for a while, the capex required largely going towards getting existing equipment functional, rather than your typical greenfield project where they have to start from scratch with everything from a mill downwards. They do need a crusher. CEO mentioned a ballpark to point of production of ~$40m. He intends to borrow for this part, not resort to equity. Management aligned with regular shareholders.
