This is a big one tbh.
Nativo’s just secured a £2m funding package from Yorkville - a proper institutional investor, not the usual AIM placing crowd! It means they’ve now got the cash to push ahead wth Bonanza, Morrocota and the tailings project without needing to come back to shareholders again (at least for a long while).
The key point - funding risk is gone. The £200k equity part was done at 0.44p, basically at a premium to the market price at the time. You don’t see that often on AIM and that normally gets a lot of investors juices flowing!! Shows Yorkville clearly think the current valuation’s way too low and want in before the next move up.
This funding also comfortably covers the tailings feasibility study (likely cost circa £400k according to my research - expecting news in this to follow soon) which will be the next big spend on the roadmap. That’s a massive step - once complete it’ll put a clear number on the tailings resource (the board are very excited by the amount of shiny stuff left in the ground) and give the market something proper to value.
Add AlbR coming in alongside Zeus and you can see what’s happening here. Two solid brokers, full funding, and ops about to restart.
When they confirm mining has re-commenced in Dec, this willreally take off. And with Richard Edwards and Adrian Crucefix already holding big stakes, wouldn’t suprise me to see more TR1’s landing soon!
