The Approx $6M (CAD) that Transamine paid up front for the copper last Nov makes them a creditor - the copper delivered to the warehouse, that they first held back the $0.5M in week one (reported on first comeback hearing) of the SISP put cash pressures
Last Thursday we heard that they were holding back $1.7M and that the Monitors lawyers were talking with Transamine lawyers to try and resolve
Transamine do not have to buy the copper - and they have gone from 90% on delivery to warehouse to 100% according to Bradbury Affidavit
There is no cash to now pay the staff and contractors have been insisting on payments up front, so the DIP cash has gone and nothing coming in
The Board with the Monitor, will now be going to all those parties that contacted them and the ones the monitor contacted about RMM, to see if anyone wants to make an indicative offer (probably by noon tmrw) - they will likely try and complete a deal over the weekend but if they cant or dont feel they can get a sensible deal in a short enough time, then they will apply for bankruptcy
The staff were told last night that unless there is a possible resolution by the weekend, the mine will go cold (ie Care & Maintenance will end)
The opportunity to market this business and get reasonable returns for all was still real with the SISP and DIP Funders - now its 90/10 against us as shareholders as CCAA does not consider shareholders in their duties
So its not over until the fat lady sings but she is now standing up and clearing her throat
Such an absolute waste of a mining opportunity
We have heard some of the Secured Creditors are looking at sueing BOD and certainly RIG will be.
RIG maybe split into 2, those holders at a death but also those that sold for a big loss after September, but will need to wait on the lawyers advice about that possibility
Fingers crossed for a miracle and a couple of parties in an auction today/tmrw
