....the previous Rajasthan Government and Rajasthan Mining department have rejected their application several times on spurious grounds during a protracted legal court process, but the High Court of India and Rajasthan have granted Property rights Protection and Stay Order protection on Panthera's rightful claim to the Exploration PL and legally Panthera's case is very strong
......Galaxy and their partner Hutch Capital, which is a successful Indian venture capital group with strong government, corporate and institutional connections to the mining industry in India have carried out extensive Indian legal and technical due diligence on Panthera's rightful claim which provides strong validation of the strength of the Bhukia PL application , hence their decision to invest $1.25m for 10% of the project
.....$250k today, another $250k by end of March which obviously indicates supreme confidence of a successful outcome, and another $750k on permit license approval, and another £1.5m cash for Panthera from their strategic investor, republic Investments, with all approvals for the re-commencement of exploration of Bhukia in place.
.....this is still very high risk at this stage because if Panthera failed to secure the permit then the sp would drop like a stone, but there's now a new elected Government in Rajasthan since December and 8 senior officials from Rasastahn's Mining Dept. have been arrested on large scale corruption charges and no doubt some may have been involved in the decision making process
..... negotiations are now underway with all key administration officials for the rightful award of the PL , and Galaxy also plan to list on the BSE which no doubt will strengthen and favour their case as it would strongly align Indian capital and investors with the success of the project and allow greater participation by Indian investors in the success of the Bhukia project. The board of Panthera considers the potential for having one of its subsidiaries or listing some or all of its Indian assets on an Indian exchange as highly attractive, and presumably could add significant value for those invested.
Galaxy and Panthera are constructively working to negotiate Panthera's Indian subsidiary Indo Gold Ltd participation in Galaxy's BSE listing process (possibly through a merger with or acquisition by Galaxy).
So all in all, a compelling case for a successful outcome....massive upside on permit approval from their current £6.2m market cap on 67.6m shares....still high risk but truly transformational upside potential.....Bhukia has a 6 million plus ounce gold resource target and so a market cap of £67m and an sp of £1 would still look cheap... Gla holders....Fingers firmly crossed!!! ;-)
