RE: This rha RNS is one of the funniest prem has ever doneToday 15:07
Jag, The claim that investors don't care about Zulu completely ignores the data. Glencore literally signed a formal Letter of Interest for an offtake deal, and the only reason the plant is briefly paused is because it chewed through its initial 6,000 tonne stockpile so fast that the team is now aggressively mining to build a 30 day continuous run buffer.
Furthermore, accusing the company of needing a "new scam" right when the Zimbabwean President personally intervened to hand the 51% RHA stake over to the active ZMDC shows complete ignorance of African corporate governance. You do not get a personal presidential decree from a head of state for a "lifestyle scam"
The technical complaints about the RHA plant location, open pit suitability, and the old "screen debacle" are ancient, heavily outdated talking points from nearly a decade ago.
The original definitive Preliminary Economic Assessment explicitly stated from day one that RHA was always a combined open pit and underground resource holding 22.14 million tonnes of ore. The core on site plant infrastructure and grid setups are 100% owned by Premier, meaning the expensive civils and foundations are already locked down.
Any incoming major buying into this asset to capitalize on record high $3,000 per mtu tungsten prices isn't looking at old equipment swaps, they are looking at a legally cleared, processing ready vehicle.
Finally, claiming this is a front for a fresh retail placement makes zero sense when the RNS explicitly states the state has ordered ZMDC to urgently engage with Premier to handle capital matters. The red tape is gone, the major creditor Canmax just chose paper over cash to support the business, and a massive critical mineral asset has been completely unlocked. The trolls are panicking because they are caught on the wrong side of a massive structural turnaround.
