Looking back to the 26th of June... the BoD rejected the following. I would think that neither of these two conditions will be part of the new agreement. Therefore we will retain 50% of the output to sell to another customer/partner.
We will be out of FM and GR could approach any of the current interested partners for the other 50%. This to me is very realistic because CANMAX will NO longer provide additional funding the Zulu OPEX and therefore shift to PREM to fund and sell the remaining 50% at market rates.
The market will very much like this, if correct. We reduce CANMAX prepayment at new pricing levels ( probably reduced for CANMAX) but retain rights to sell remaining 50% outside of CANMAX deal.
no amendment has been signed to date, nor will an amendment containing certain of the terms now currently proposed by Canmax, be acceptable to Premier. In particular, Canmax's proposal received on 23 June 2023 includes:
ยท
The effective conversion of the Pre-Payment Amount into either (i) a convertible debt instrument in the event that Zulu is unable to meet its delivery obligations under the amended Agreement, with no floor to the conversion price or (ii) a proportionate amount of the equity of Zulu; and
ยท
The sale to Canmax of all concentrate produced at Zulu, not only that from the Pilot Plant, at fixed prices with limited ability for Premier to accommodate cost variations.
