RE: Zimbabwe’s diamond potential22 Jan 2019 20:42
Thanks for this Mizman.
Is this where the USD 1 million went that AP raised shortly after promising not to raise at those low (well....) levels again, the SPV for MDF? AP had to suddenly raise USD 1mln and then disappeared to Zimbabwe. As per below it is one of the conditions of the SPV that vast has to provide USD 1mln initial funding.
If so, why not announce it?? What else could he need exactly that sum for?

In May 2018 BOD signed a MoU with Vast, an AIM listed exploration company. In terms of the MoU, the two companies would be exchanging past exploration information and forming a special purpose vehicle (‘SPV’) to jointly develop the diamond potential of Zimbabwe. The initial focus of this agreement is on the Marange Diamond Fields (‘MDF’) of eastern Zimbabwe. Vast holds exclusive access to key diamond concessions within the MDF (“Heritage Concession”) through an agreement with a community organisation.
The initial MoU has since matured into a formal agreement over the MDF, which includes the following terms:
An SPV between BOD and Vast to develop diamond resources in the MDF.
Initial shareholdings will be BOD - 13.33% and Vast - 86.67%.
Vast will contribute up to US$1 million as initial funding.
If any additional funds are required, this will be via an equity raise.
BOD and Vast may contribute to any future equity raise on a pro rata basis. If either party does not take up its allocation, the other may contribute further and increase their relative shareholding.
A separate agreement between BOD and Vast will cover the joint development of diamond properties outside of the MDF in a 50/50 joint venture model.
