Some interesting points here. My view is we are a junior explorer which means we don't produce anything - revenue wise, except results. Therefore, we will continue to need cash to explore until we can provide money from our assets. A sale of Senala would be one option but I don't agree with passing it off cheap. I think we have a bit of time, money still comes in from Lanstead until next August or Sept. If the Bibimi drill results are decent and we can get up to a base of .5 for the year ahead that would be double the .25 base of the Lanstead deal which would give us more breathing space. Otherwise, ultimately by next Sept the begging bowl will be out again to raise more cash for TopCo.
So the way I see it, the company has 1 year to really progress the Cameroon licenses and demonstrate value. Not sure what the next move is at Bibimi after the drill results. I have no idea how much it costs to get a mine going there but that will likely need cash too.
They often talk of first mover advantage in Cameroon, I wonder is that a blessing or a curse. A blessing in the sense that they got pick of the licenses, a curse as no one is really doing anything in Cameroon with gold and other Pms.
Either way the pressure will be on next year so it will be interesting to see how this pans out. Decent results at Bibimi & more importantly out of the maiden drill at Mbe could really help drive interest in the region.
The ideal scenario for me is to see someone bigger come in and buy up all the Cameroon business and then sell off the other assets and then we don't have to decide at what price to sell our shares as everything is bought out!! Hopefully for about 4 or 5 pence equivalent at todays total voting rights or shares in circulation. I'm not a greedy person :o)
Going back to Senela it would be great if they could get some other external interests on those licences as it may give Mangem a kick to do something. Afterall, nothing like the threat of having some new neighbors moving next door to concentrate the mind!!
