Cheers for that. Gold appears to be holding above 1500, which is nice, but if we have costs of $250m per annum, we need to produce 166kt to break even. If the grades in the orebody are up the spout, and we need Capex of 10s of millions to take New Liberty underground, what do we think is the likelihood of achieving that? Bizarrely, the related party transactions might just be a benefit at the moment. He needs the company to keep going to get paid.
One thing that is puzzling me, is that he effectively loaned money to Avesoro to buy Youga off his holding company (i.e. paying himself), but then wants to buy it back with his holding company. I initially thought it was a way to extract a value for Youga that he could pocket (i.e. Avesoro is expendable and Avesoro Jersey was where the profits went), but now he seems to want Avesoro inside Avesoro Jersey. My conclusion is he now needs the dollars that the mining operation brings, and is now just being opportunistic to snaffle the rest of the company on the cheap while it has some temporary issues.
Anyone else think this should drift up to £1 (at least) from here?
