Game 1 - Guess the date of the next major RNS:-13 Apr 2021 08:34
Good morning all, and an even colder start to the day, the sun will be out soon to warm the place up.
You know my current theory,
I posted it up a few days ago!
The BOD is land grabbing as much extra real estate as they can at the last minute!
They have just spent a very small amount to stop anyone else from being able to box them in, they now have unlimited expansion potential!
Posters think that with the last RNS that mentioned the 'WORD' rights issue, the company is thinking of going it alone!
Not to me, it doesn't!
It is purely a housekeeping exercise, in this particular case, last year this resolution was not passed because of a problem in vote counting, and as stated, NOT needed anyway due to having just raised millions by selling shares at par!
This missing resolution to enable the company to raise funds by a rights issue has been present in all previous AGMs and voted in favor of, so passed with NO problem!
The fact it has just raised its head, and because an EMERGENCY General meeting has been called to fix this omission, posters think the worst and think the sale is off, and we need to raise funds to go it alone!
Well, sorry, the sale is still full-on, we have NOT been told otherwise by any RNS?
This missing ability to allow the company to do a rights issue will be seen as a weakness in any negotiation by any other party, most if not all companies have this proviso, it is standard business acumen to have another way to raise capital, IF ever needed.
My logic is this -
The company sort a DFS, it recommended mining from the two mines, concurrently to maximize output!
The company responded by RNS stating THAT is NOT their plan!
Rember that Sinosteel loan -
"This new contract is basically a loan package and EPC contract, so a turnkey operation to develop the mine and plant to extract platinum group metals, precious metals, and base metals from the deposits we've been exploring.
“It's basically a one-step turnkey contract with financing already conceptually in place for when we get the go-ahead from the Russian government to develop the mine,” Schaffalitzky added.
Sinosteel will construct and commission the mine with the contract in total worth US $176mln"
They have been kicking that loan down the road for years now!
To me, the company is just grabbing as much as it can in the final throws, it wants to give the impression of maximizing its mining output and profit, but knows the full cost involved is prohibitive and better for the big boys to take on!
The only reason to get this resolution passed with an EGM when they could have waited till the NEXT AGM is it is required ASAP!
So if it is required so quickly, and very unlikely to be used as intended, cash not a current issue, that can only mean one thing!
WE are on the verge of completing a sale!
Only me applying some logic to what I see, what do you think?
Today's only hopeful is:-
