RE: RNS - Appointment & ASX Listing Update3 May 2023 11:49
I suppose some people will always see the negative in every discussion, RNS or thought process. No acquisition has been announced and no dilution (or fund raising) is necessary before first ore.
Any acquisitions will be accretive as Shaun has explained before. I will judge his performance on the long term sp performance, not the size of the company.
Those who are long term substantial shareholders will no doubt be looking at the news in the mining sector and the performance of other companies. Whoever you listen to, whether its Eric Sprott, Steve Todoruk, The KE reports guests, Craig Hemke etc etc will know that the junior gold mining sector is still on its knees. When it turns (and it always does) it will move quickly and violently.
So we need patience and an understanding of what Shaun is trying to achieve. He mapped out his vision pretty clearly after the large placing and securing the bank debt last September. Everything he has done and said since all fits with this plan, as Paddy alluded to earlier today. This includes the ASX compliance listing and the TopCo. That some dont understand what this means is OK if you then go and research it and learn.
In five years time I am sure that we wont be on AIM, but will have moved to the main market, maybe soon after free cash flow?
Its probable that the majority of the volume will be on the ASX by then as it appears that London has given up its role as the home of mining finance. We certainly wont be 80/20 PI/Insto, hopefully the reverse.
In ten years there may not be a UK listing, in fact there may not be a GGP at all. But just about equally there may be a proper dual listed company worth £20bn+.
So far Shaun has laid out his plan and he has followed it up by actions that support his plan. As long as I like the plan and he does what he says, then he will have my support. We have a fascinating five months ahead with many catalysts for a major sp re-rate.
