JLP exchanged very little cash in order to obtain their 29% of shares in issue. In return they have pretty much complete control of Kabwe. If the co. (BMR) liquidated given that they would then take full control of Kabwe I don’t see how they could view losing their 29% holding as a real relative loss in the grand scheme of the money they could make at Kabwe. They’ve already made clear they are very,very bullish on Kabwe, I’ve not seen the hyperbolic type statements exactly but I’ve heard other suggest once it’s up and running Kabwe could be a co. maker, for JLP. So if all pans out for JLP at Kabwe I just don’t see why they would even slightly concern themselves with their BMR holding being worth nothing. Yes, I’m sure they would like to be able to sell it and make some money back but given what they have going on I don’t think it’s a priority.
Borrelli has put shareholders in this uncertain position by failing to ensure any official legal agreements were in place or strict timescales put in place with JLP before allowing them to take over the project at Kabwe. The SML licence comes up for renewal in October 2020, JLP have the option to acquire 100% EML until August 2020 (we could extend I suppose we probably would as well) Everything is being cut very fine and BMR are no doubt running very low on cash at this point, I’m sure CB is more than aware. Unless the claims against former auditors and similar are still bearing fruit (and keeping Borrelli and co. in suits, slick backs and bouffants) without us being informed cash must be very low.
