The mis-understanding here appears to stem from the fact that there is a delay in the execution of the corporate event. To qualify for the CAI distribution you have to be on the share register on the record date. In this case the ex-date is a day later. If you sell inbetween these two times, you pass on the benefit to the buyer. This appears to be what the LSE rulebook states below.
"When an issuer undertakes a corporate event, there needs to be certainty as to who holds the benefit of that event, where an execution takes place before it is completed. Unless the counterparties specifically agree otherwise the buyer assumes the benefit when trading ahead of the ex date and the selling party would need to pass the benefit on to buyer if the seller is still the recorded owner at Record Date. Likewise the seller retains the benefit if execution takes place on Ex date or later. If the buyer is already the registered owner at Record Date it would in turn would need to pass the benefit back to the seller. "
An HL update just now. "Further to our previous correspondence regarding the Keras Resources plc Demerger of Calidus Resources Ltd, we have been made aware from the London Stock Exchange that the ex date for the Demerger was today, Thursday 21 November 2019. Therefore, you must have held Keras Resources plc Shares at the close of business on 20 November 2019 in order to qualify to receive and retain the new Calidus Resources Ltd Shares."
I think HL are correct. This from the LSE website. "When an issuer undertakes a corporate event, there needs to be certainty as to who holds the benefit of that event, where an execution takes place before it is completed. Unless the counterparties specifically agree otherwise the buyer assumes the benefit when trading ahead of the ex date and the selling party would need to pass the benefit on to buyer if the seller is still the recorded owner at Record Date. Likewise the seller retains the benefit if execution takes place on Ex date or later. If the buyer is already the registered owner at Record Date it would in turn would need to pass the benefit back to the seller. "
Note the following statement by KRS from the demerger document.
" The Record Date is expected to be on or about 19 November 2019 and the Company will notify the firm date by Regulatory Information System prior to the Demerger becoming effective."

We can take the ORM comparison one step further by comparing market cap. Orms 30% stake is currently worth £12m. That values 100% of the project at £40m. Wres market cap is £20m with less than half the debt. Is orm overvalued or is wres undervalued? Go figure.
Just for a spot of context, this is a similar sized mine, in the same jurisdiction, at a similar point in the ramp up of production but with more than twice the amount of debt. https://tinyurl.com/y5uy5jw9 Note the eye-watering levels of interest. At least we'll be able to refinance our debt early next year at a reasonable rate.

And once again you fail to understand the difference between truthful facts and future projections based on possible outcomes of engineered design and planning.
devilsbeast - why would you assume that I'm right when I say that the BlackRock interest payments are paid quarterly? Why don't you verify it yourself. Or do you believe everything you read on a BB.

APT price is unchanged this week. Tungsten APT European US$225-245/mtu vs US$225-245/mtu
Tin is slightly down at $16,180/tonne
Using the lower figure of $225 the company will be generating over $22m pa in revenue and around $10m pa ebitda when it reachs only 50% of its design capacity at 100 tonnes per month. Shouldn't take long to get to that stage.
Beware of the lies and scaremongering being spread by devilsbeast. Here's an example.
"Leaves current capital 522k. Next months interest payment alone is 700k + Salaries, Fixed costs etc etc..."
The company makes quarterly interest payments to BlackRock, not monthly. The next payment is due mid-February. BlackRock are obviously supportive of the company by their actions.
The directors making unsecured loans to the company are an indication of their belief in the viability of the project going forward. Despite what the bashers here would have you believe, wres is producing tunsten and tin concentrate. This has been RNS'd. Our off-takers pay us within a few days of delivery. So the company is generating some revenue and that will only increase in the following weeks and months. Along with the incoming funding, director support and 5.3m grant in Q1, there is a clear pathway to profitable production.
