So first the positives - it does sound very positive re the operational start up at Vatomina. If they are able to match their talk with their walk then 1000MTpm mid this year and 1500MTpm by end of the year would be fantastic. Achieve that and there really is a business here to salvage, despite all the short term pain as now to be discussed:
So first the £900k due for the original CLN is being converted to shares at 5p, that's 18m shares + accrued interest also at 5p a share. Next £1.74m of new CLN notes convertible at 5p have been committed, with a 1:1 warrant attached to that's potentially 70m more shares.
And if I've read it right there is also a separate placing being lined up too, with now no mention of major debt financing. So how much is this going to be and do we assume 5p again? £2m and 40m shares? £4m and 80m shares? Or possible even more?
And there's negotiations going on re the £1.9m CLN maturity needing payment by July.
Oh and there's still substantial accounts payable, payments to Pranagraf and £0.5m owed to staff/directors/former directors which 'may be settled in equity'
As said at the start of this post if they nail the operational side they will attract debt finance next year and there will be a return to be made from 5p but in the meantime there could be as much as 200m shares extra added first which does limit the upside somewhat.
Still, there is hope now where there wasn't any.
