RE: Another 330m in share dilution3 Sep 2025 08:18
Let me just explain
Explains why this has been dropping.
"Cloudbreak has paid a A$20,000 option fee to secure two months exclusive due diligence across the Paterson Project. If Cloudbreak elects to proceed, it can acquire a 90% interest in the project via the issue of 330,000,000 shares to Mammoth Minerals Ltd (ASX:M79, "Mammoth"). Mammoth is to retain a 10% free carried interest in the Project until the completion of a Definitive Feasibility Study with a positive NPV."
Let’s be clear: this deal looks very dilutive and risky for Cloudbreak shareholders.
They’ve paid A$20,000 for the option, but if they move forward, Cloudbreak will have to issue a staggering 330,000,000 new shares to Mammoth Minerals. That’s a huge increase to the share count, which means existing investors will see their stakes heavily diluted.
On top of that, Mammoth keeps a 10% free carried interest, meaning they don’t pay a cent towards development until a full Definitive Feasibility Study proves the project is economically viable. In other words, Cloudbreak and its shareholders are footing the entire bill for years of work, while Mammoth rides along risk-free.
So while this may sound like “growth,” the reality is:
- Massive dilution if exercised
- Investors carry all the costs and risks
- Mammoth benefits without paying in
- This structure makes the deal far more favorable to Mammoth than to Cloudbreak shareholders.
