Let's stick to facts not fiction4 Apr 2025 13:21
A lot of noise WiseOwlSpeak, especially around the idea that a placing is “certain and soon.” That might make for an eye-catching post, but it doesn’t hold up when you actually look at the facts.
Financial Position
As of 30 June 2024, Oracle Power had £528,464 in cash. Since then:
• In November 2024, it raised £150,000 through a subscription with a single investor.
• In December 2024, it brought in £416,667 by repricing and exercising a portion of its warrants.
That’s over £566,000 raised in the second half of 2024 alone. It’s more than enough to cover the company’s current low burn rate, especially considering where its projects are in their respective cycles.
On Warrants
There are 613 million outstanding warrants, previously priced between 0.07p and 0.17p. These were repriced in December 2024, reducing the range by 21.9%, which means they now sit somewhere between 0.055p and 0.133p.
The key point here is that the current share price is still below 0.055p. So exercising these warrants right now would mean paying more than the market price — which makes no financial sense. They’re not being exercised, and they’re not funding anything at this stage.
Where Are the Big Costs?
This idea that Oracle is burning through cash across multiple projects also needs a bit of context:
1. Northern Zone Gold Project (WA)
Riversgold has now exercised its option and taken an 80% stake in the project. They’re managing and funding the work going forward. Oracle retains a 20% free carry — so there are no development costs coming out of Oracle’s pocket here.
2. 1.3 GW Renewable Energy Project (Pakistan)
Oracle has secured the $600,000 bank guarantee required to move forward. That’s an important milestone and shows the company’s commitment, but again — this is still in pre-construction. No capex-heavy work is underway yet, and any real development will likely be funded through joint ventures or project finance, not the AIM market.
3. Blue Rock Valley (WA)
Still in early exploration. Gravity targets have been identified, and further work is planned, but it’s a staged process and isn’t capital intensive right now.
Management and Overheads
Management remuneration is publicly disclosed and modest. This isn’t a case of funds being siphoned off through salaries — if anything, it’s the opposite. The team has been careful, patient, and strategic with capital.
So, is a placing inevitable? No. That’s just your opinion dressed up as fact. Could they raise more down the line? Possibly ,but only if it aligns with progressing a project that’s ready for the next phase. Right now, there’s no urgent funding requirement, no sign in the RNSs, and no pressure based on the company’s financial position.
Let’s stick to what’s in the accounts and updates, not conspiracy theories. The numbers and strategy tell a very different story.
