RE: TODAY'S RNS..23 Sep 2024 15:12
I think some here are getting things round their necks. In the RNS of 28th March IRH agreed to take up their option to proceed with the waste rock project. "IRH exercises right to proceed with the formation of the Joint Venture (JV) vehicle for the implementation of the Waste Rock Project." Since then JUBILEE have being doing due diligence with regard the quality of the material, NOT IRH as to Jubilee's capability. From the WHI update of 18th April:
"IRH and Jubilee signed their agreement to continue with the ‘waste rock’ project (RNS 28.03.2024). This will see production of ~20kt copper in concentrate produced from four modules processing in total 2.4Mt/yr of material. Jubilee is currently conducting resource drilling to highlight the best location for the modules. Remember Jubilee pays none of the capex for these modules or the purchase of the stockpiles but still gets 30% of the share of net profit as operator; we account for the profits from this SPV (30% to Jubilee) as a profit from investment in associate in PBT."
And from the latest RNS:
"To date, US$4.95 million has been advanced (by JLP) to secure the rights to the large Waste Rock Project, as part of the overall acquisition price of US$30 million, payable (by JLP) quarterly over 18 months, contingent on the successful completion of the due diligence period. According to the terms of the agreement, Jubilee will forfeit the payments made thus far if it decides not to proceed with the project. The successful completion of due diligence is a critical factor in maintaining Jubilee's partnership with IRH." Jubilee will forfeit payments if IT decides not to go ahead. We are NOT proving our capability to IRH, WE are deciding if the waste rock is worthy of our time and efforts. Capiche??
