Gordon Stein, CFO of CleanTech Lithium, explains why CTL acquired the 23 Laguna Verde licenses. Watch the video here.
@Ometoe - I can't think of any other reason why they would go in this direction. Last RNS was fine as far as reporting the reserves but pretty useless in terms of progress of the exploration drills and of course finding. These wells are expected to produce 100 bbl/d but there was no updates on the costs, timescales, and crude quality following the proactive interview in November. Main reasons nfor share drop in my opinion. Hopefully they will realise this and provide a positive update soon.
Was nice to see this after my earlier post this morning, but disappointing to say the least.
I have invested in AIM companies since 2008, some great and some duds. But this latest update smells of the Moon and Rocket to me now. They have 10% of the land, with infrastructure to develop the 5k plant. Why have they not got the $$$ backers yet?
Yup, approaching middle of January. Would be prudent to update shareholders on the planned progress of activities stated in the interview. Primarily the results of the exploration drills and the funding for the 5k plant which is scheduled for Q2 2023.
If this comes to fruition in that period then 5000 bbl/d plant + 25 wells@100bbl/day followed by train2 5k plant bodes well for the future. Even taking into account poo of $60/bbl would imply revenues in the region of $250MM/yr. Staggering imo.
@BFM - 3 exp and 25 producing wells sounds great. What is the COS on these exploration Wells? What is the cost of the drilling programme itself and who will be funding it? Another loan from Valkor with another ridiculously high interest rate?? If this activity is to support funding and no share dilution for the full scale CORT then they should say so.
Recent RNS still stating they are seeking funding but with the proviso of no guarantee. We have all done our calcs and have similar numbers for revenues from the 5k plant. I find it difficult to understand why they cannot get funding yet on those numbers.
Just taken most of my profits and decided to put into a potential sleeping giant. Fact that I could sell so easily bodes well for the remainder of my investment with TOM. I would still like see the business plan from TOM themselves as opposed to the people on this board. No offense intended btw.
@ohmtoe - tend to agree. It's been very slow progress to get where TOM is now since the final FEED was received end of July and the Valkor acquisition one month later. I hope they don't spend so long getting the funds to build the plant especially with poo. Now that they have some land they are in a better position to source funds. I just hope they don't sit on their hands .
@borrow.. From the last RNS "The extension of the above mentioned exclusive option to 15 November 2021 has been agreed to facilitate the ongoing funding discussions for the initial 10% acquisition, however there can be no certainty that a suitable agreement will be reached with this or another third party or as to the terms of any such funding."
So your options should focus on the above i.e. Agreement or No Agreement. If the former then it may come with some negativity should this agreement require further delays to put in place.
If there is No Agreement then I can't see any option but to raise funds via a placing (So TOMco don't lose its deposits on the land purchase) as their partners never put their hands in their pockets as far as this project is concerned.
TOM should focus on getting this project started rather than being drawn into sidetracks and the subsequent delays. Next 10 days will be interesting. The lack of updates though from TOM since September are making your option 3 look more likely. I hope we are both wrong.
BFM - Glad to hear that someone is talking about TOM as opposed to the Petroteq parasites on this board.
My wag tail dog post went over most people's heads but it still applies. 10 days left for TOM to come clean as to weather they are the dog or someone's *****.
The potential is excellent so why can't they go it alone and get the funding to advance. Any more goal posts moving I am out.
We await..

Don’t forget the outstanding warrants and the lump of shares Valkor are due for their 29%. You can use Yahoo finance history to get the SP of those dates and calc the MC. Following the share consolidation back in 2017 the ratio of number of shares issued now compared to 2017 is around 50 (1451/29). So we have big dilution which is not reflected in the current MC. My sympathy goes to the long termers here as there have been many failures along the way. Let's hope this one is a winner...finally.
Joe - please define your interpretation and meaning of "obvious". SP is currently nearing its doldrums at its normal 0.5-0.55.
I called (with my reasons btw) 0.9-1p which is almost double, yet you call me a de-ramper. You must therefore be the ramper of the universe, no?
The ramper without foundation - or basically a 100% idiot.
@Vauch - Very much depends on what you call positive.
For me I would like to hear that the activities resulting in this delay have been completed and were successful and they have now required the funds to purchase 10% of the land. Anything less would be construed as negative in my opinion.
Secondly and assuming no negativity there has to be someone taking the lead here in developing the 5000 bbl/d project with a realistic schedule. A positive note on funding would also go a long way to help the SP.
As for my SP prediction? Well I am sure most people here have done the maths based on the production and sand rates, but until the plant is built or on its way to be built I cannot see anything beyond 1p. There are still outstanding warrants around 0.9p and there is still uncertainty as to share dilution in support any funding package.
I am sure the incumbents at Tomco, Valkor, and Petroteq know all of this but it would be good to see one of them take the lead FFS.
