Reflecting on the Roast Podcast. Its clear that the dazzling set of options open to Jubilee are not locked down into a plan as yet - thats understandable imv as there are a lot of others involved- a lot of moving parts. One thought from the 10 mines - I wonder if Jubilee are considering less of a partnership with UAE partner - buying mines gives all the spoils to JLP.
Reflecting on Jubilee history, I would like to understand (as I always have) a view on further raises beyond the usual there wont be any. The reason being, it may require a capital growth plan to match speed of cash in if thats the case and it would be good to see this demonstrated.
Again, I think Leon is a great leader, developer, relationship holder, but this sort of planning for the future is absent - its dull and it constrains the management options but without it I am unsure how much of any future Jubilee expansion will be coming to me and how much to future investors. This is especially crucial when I feel we are undervalued in the SP as I do now.
So for example, I would be fine if they said - we are only selling lesser copper variant for next year, as that cashflow will pay for the concentrator / acquisition of mines / resources. Ie the management can self restrain and set their own rules.
But unfortunately so far, the funding, cash and operational realities do not seem to intertwine and there is no strategic growth discipline evident.
Overall I am still bullish but as JLP grows, these disciplines are more crucial in our C suite leaders.
