RE: One way9 Aug 2020 18:46
The only criticism I have of Great Western is that they have placed on I think 4 occasions since the board shake up last Nov. Considering the discount with each placing, with hindsight they would have been better raising one large amount of money and have been fully funded for 2020 from the start. This would have actually been better for the share price as it would have allowed it to return perhaps back to the 0.3p area, however each time it looks to be starting to break away bang goes another placing which is mainly the reason for where it is currently.
However that being said back in Nov no company could ever have envisaged Covid-19 and it's long lasting effects. But the fact remains that compared to many other micro cap listed companies we are in a strong cash position given the dire state of the equity markets and the unfavourable conditions of lending money currently. At least Great Western have raised via traditional methods of an equity raise as opposed to smoke and mirrors death spiral financing. It's also worth noting that the company have absolutely no debt.
An added bonus which should add further value to the company is the Olympic project acquisition which some of the placing funds have been set aside for.
Things are certainly progressing with US personnel on the ground who are highly regarded and trusted by the bod. The assets will speak for themselves once the company are in a position to update the market with something material.
One thing I expect to see in the next week or 2 are pictures of ongoing work with perhaps the mobile light drilling rig, further sampling and actual drilling leading us nicely towards leaching of the heaps. I do find it strange that the rogue Twitter account which sprung up last week purportedly from someone on the ground was mentioning about Trafalgar Hill being good which is on the Olympic site plus the fact they claim news isn't far away. Whether this is someone dicking around or genuinely someone on the ground with a heads up remains to be seen.
