Billy, your shares are in PREM not Zulu, which is a separate entity currently wholly owned by PREM. Come 1st April, Canmax will take a percentage holding of Zulu in lieu of the prepayment debt plus interest owed, by my calculations that equates to a little under 60% of the Zulu plant, leaving PREM as the minority partner in the business. The question that needs answering however is PREMs ability to remain in business up until the 1st April and indeed beyond that date. As I'm sure your research into the company has shown, they have little money, some rather large outstanding bills, including a priority debt to the Zimbabwean government of $250000 as a PARTIAL repayment of VAT owed. I'm sure your also aware that they recently attempted to raise £3.5 million through a placing and offer to shareholders, this failed and as a result additional funding support from the major shareholder Canmax was also withdrawn. This leaves GR in somewhat of a pickle. He did manage to raise about £500k after fees, which would be enough to pay the partial VAT bill and wages owed to staff that he hasn't been paying since the middle of last year and also, if you can believe anything he says, it gives him enough money to do some groundwork for a new flotation plant that he wants to buy but cannot afford. Not sure why you would spend money prepping the ground for some kit you cannot afford. He also needs a lot of cash to do a test run for the plant to see if the tweaks he's had done have worked. This all means that he needs to try and raise more money, the city have snubbed him, shareholders have snubbed him so the only way now is some form of death spiral financing
