Well that certainly was a rollercoaster of emotions yesterday and having now had to time reflect and hear first hand the why's/what for's I understand the train of events more.
Fund raising was always a given, mentioned in the last quarterly, and much needed to support the development plans for Cambay and to ensure the business remained solvent. Fund raising's require a period of time to negotiate and co-ordinate and during this time the executive employees and participants are taken "inside" so no external communication is allowed. As part of this process the fund raise price will have been agreed, this could have been weeks, if not a month ago. Fund raising's will always be at a discounted price, that's just the nature of them.
Yes it would have made far more sense to raise after the GOI ratification, but that timing is out of the businesses hands, and they will have needed to get their own finances in order to continue to progress matters. I have already expressed my disappointment at this but do accept that there are many variables in play here.
On a positive, funds now secured, and we can continue to press ahead with field plan development, production and fracking. Two pieces of news to drop anytime - 1. commencement of production notification after receiving all the required approvals 2. GOI ratification
The business is focused on generating positive cash flow, and proving up the Cambay known reserves. At todays share price we are no where near enterprise value and I would expect to see a steady rise as imminent further news drops. Keep patient if you are invested and perhaps even under water, you only realise a loss when you press the sell button.
