Record production and record gold sales in $, it looks like operational improvement continues, note comments made about expected reductions in costs, due to hire costs dropping + other savings.
I suspected that there will be some portion of debt to equity swap - MTL has circa £100m of debt but will be throwing off lots of cash in the future - it will depend on what price the major shareholders want for conversion and what % of the debt they want to convert.
I will take a stab and suggest they will convert one quarter of the debt into equity, that would equate to £25m, at 1.5p a share would equal the issue of 1.66b shares or at 2p 1.25b shares, worth noting that some directors have bought at 5p a share, maybe, just maybe, the conversion rate will be at a higher premium to market.
Nonetheless the picture becomes clearer slowly but surely, they suggest the refinance structure will be announced by end of Q1
