I may have missed it (let's face it there have been hundreds of posts) but I haven't seen any discussion about this.
If the South African side of the business is sold then the remaining business will have to cover the full Head Office / Board costs. OK it will be lower but not by that much!
I think you are being very kind to the Donald! He, in my opinion, doesn't give a monkeys about any of the MAGA voters. The only people he cares about are himself and his rich cronies. Anyone else is just cannon fodder!
His cronies will be making a fortune in the market with his continual on/off tariff carry on. Everyone else suffers!
It would be absolute stupidity for JLP to release information on what they pay for a resource. They will only pay as much as they need to and each deal is likely to be different from the previous deals.
Why on earth would any company give a seller the advantage of knowing what the buyer is willing to pay before negotiations take place. In those circumstances that price then becomes the minimum the seller will accept.
Yeah, on reflection, I agree with you, Bluebelly, the reduction affects both sides of the equation so should have minimal effect on the timeline to recover the loss of production due to the power issues.
I think you'll find it is nearer 2 months to recover the lost production.
45000 x 0.7% is 315t which is approx 475t lost over the 6 week period.
Even if they allocated the full 4500t capacity to the higher grade material, which they are not initially, they would only produce 720t instead of 315t of the lower grade per month.
According to the previous RNS they will only be allocating 30000t of the higher grade material.
Therefore 30000 x 1.6% (480t) plus 15000 x 0.7% (105t) is 585t. An additional amount of 270t pm against lost production of approx 470t.
