suasage if you take the time to read the RNS's you'll find thats fairly old news and relates to the time when they had a contract agreement with Nextgen.
That contract was cancelled due to Nextgens failure to deliver and the co. took control back..
"The lack of progress by Nextgen culminated in the announcement on 31 May 2022 that the Company had reached an agreement with NextGen to terminate the contract. Following the termination of the contract all mining equipment has been brought back into service by Edenville, whilst an additional pre-strip excavator has been added to the fleet. Up to three additional trucks have been sourced to rapidly scale production. Our initial goal is to satisfy existing demand from local customers of 1,500 tonnes of washed lump coal product and 500 tonnes of coal fines in the immediate future, targeting sales of 5,000 tonnes per month of washed coal late in Q3 2022, with coal fines sales also expected to continue and possibly expand. During the first half of 2022,
9,466 tonnes of ROM coal has been mined.
We believe there is sufficient demand based on the Company’s order book and recent discussions with potential customers to sell any coal that is produced at Rukwa. The Company is also exploring the potential of exporting its coal for the first time, given margins would be expected to be even greater"
As can be seen it wasn't "cashburn" it was investment in plant and machinery ready for this uplift in fortunes.
