RE: RNS update about US$150m for 38.2% of Sable23 May 2026 07:38
Chinasyndrome,
You are a blinkered, Pensana fan-boy who can't tolerate any criticism of Pensana and doesn't know when he has lost an argument.
Q) You asked, "Total ignorance or deliberate false and malicious information designed to damage?"
A) Neither. I am the opposite of ignorant and I post only facts or supported opinions. My objective is to educate other shareholders and put pressure on Pensana's management to comply with the UK Listing Rules and keep the market updated about its key milestones, especially when it has missed its own guidance on timelines.
Q) You asked, "Everything he has posted to date has been proven wrong, and every time he then comes up with a new grievance based on his own personal? opinions. A sponsored provocateur or just a half smart idiot seeking attention?
A) Neither. I am not sponsored by anyone and I am an intelligent and experienced investor in the natural resources sector.
1) You wrote, "An RNS is not required until a material change has been crystalized, delays are not material changes" but this is incorrect. Continuous disclosure under UK MAR means that, if a listed company gives timing guidance and that changes, the company must issue an RNS announcement to notify the delay and any revised timing guidance. On 4 March 2026, Pensana's timeline guidance of "coming weeks" has, by any reasonable definition, passed. Therefore, Pensana's management must announce an update on the part of the Strategic Investment that relates to the sale of 38.2% of Pensana's shares in Sable for US$150m.
2) You wrote, "The process pad is most certainly in plain site [should be sight], we get a satellite image of the process pad every few days, you don't have to scour the internet, they are posted on the TG group of which you are still a member", but there are only 495 members of the TG group and therefore that is not an effective way of keeping the market informed about progress (or lack of progress) on key milestones (as defined by Pensana). Official RNS news is the only platform in which listed companies must notify news relating to material events, such as the first concrete pours (described as a "key milestone" by Pensana). Shareholders are not expected to have to join TG groups, visit Angola, or scour the internet to find out if concrete has been poured.
3) You wrote, "The 7,000m drilling is not part of the planned Billion-ton exploration program, it is for production grade control and is therefore OPEX not CAPEX". This shows how little you understand about OPEX/CAPEX.
CapEx under IFRS is the funds a company uses to acquire, upgrade, or maintain long-term physical or intangible assets expected to yield economic benefits for more than one year. The 7,000m drilling will yield economic benefits for more than one year. Therefore, these costs are capitalised on the balance sheet (CapEx) and recognised over time, rather than expensed immediately (OpEx).
