Not quite…
1. We are running out of money in a month - NOT QUITE AS THEY HAVE ALSO SAID BELOW MEANING POTENTIALLY FUNDING UNTIL Q1 END, THERE IS A CAVEAT BUT NO REASON WHY SUPPLIERS WILL NOT AGREE TO THIS AS ITS SUCH A SIGNIFICANT PROJECT AND CASH COW FOR THEM.
‘..unless there are positive outcomes from conversations with suppliers, other cash preserving measures, or other financing solutions, which if successful should provide sufficient working capital until late Q1 24 .’
2. It's still a valuable asset with a lot of money spent and nearly ready to go - AGREED
3. Diligence is not complete and is proceeding at a leisurely pace not matched by point 1. - FUNDING POTENTIALLY UNTIL Q1 END WHICH COINCIDES WITH FUNDING SOLUTION.
4. Come and buy us, bargains to be had.
Best ending here for anyone still in is a bid for the company. Right now O and LM would take an offer to recover pennies on the pound rather than be wiped out. Glen would find it cheapest, Vale would be most ironic, Anglo American might like a go too.
There may be a bid. Or more than one. Or none at all. It is the best last hope though.
