George Roach, CEO of Premier, stated: "I am on record that there would be some advancement by the end of last week with this proposed restructure of the equity at RHA, or Premier would need to look to other legal processes to secure the remaining equity in RHA. It is simply not possible that Premier, or any other could be expected to continue to fund the ongoing holding costs and the return to production with a minority stake and no contribution from the remaining shareholders.
#So cant contibue without any contribution from remaining share holders! He means eaither a placing or closing shop on RHA
"The cost to RHA employees, many of whom have received no income this year, the cost to a body of international shareholders and the loss of potential revenue must end now. Recently, Premier established independently that it was feasible to bring RHA back into production and I believe it will be possible to finance the start of production, but not until proper legal process is concluded and the ownership of RHA reflects present Zimbabwean Government policy"
#Legal issues dont happen quick, and cost money
#Many RHA employees have not been paid this year
#Some form of finance is coming
Bottom line: unless prem gets 90 ownership of RHA then they will do nothing with it, if they do get 90 % ownership they will do a massive placing to start it up.
Question: why would you start up RHA is it is not financially viable?
After BARA report
#Prem slid after it announced the results of a consultation on how to bring one of its Zimbabwean mines back into production. The study concluded it was viable, but would cost £818,000. After 15 months, it would only be making £474,000.
