RE: ORR next KEFI? Better jurisdiction & stronger fundamentals. 2.00p+3 Mar 2026 19:58
I’m surprised more hasn’t been made of IMDEX Limit being involved.
IMDEX typically works with mid-tier producer and serious explorers with scale potential
If they’re committing on site support, it can signal large scale justification, longer-term drilling pipeline and seriousness of development intent
These are bigger players than BCM having far superior technical expertise and a market cap of £1.2B!!! I’m not suggesting they are drooling but it’s pertinent that experienced “contractors” like BCM are teaming up with them.
Suggests some VERY big is brewing. The previous N & S drilling was just standard African low tech stuff, being BCMs bread & butter. Clearly Q2s drilling will be technically more advanced.
BCM are a contractor worth circa £200M, much of which is equipment and plant. IMBEX is a mining technology and data base business, employing circa 1000, mainly engineers (mining, drilling, geologists, field technician etc)
