There's an awful lot of confusion amongst the “experts” on this board. But you are both correct to question funding.
Here's the reality - whatever the ramping crew might say.
No one has visibility on the MarchGL balance sheet — it’s effectively a private entity. Yes, it has committed to funding the first two drills, but there’s no publicly available proof that it has such funds at this stage. To be clear, I’m not suggesting those funds won’t materialise — just that, until invoices are actually paid, none of us can say with certainty what capital is readily available to MarchGL.
The same principle applies to USFM. It has committed to drilling at Disko, but again, there’s no transparency on funding. Until activity is demonstrably financed, it ultimately comes down to taking both commitments on trust. Quite a leap of faith.
As for the ~$86m — that related to the potential original SPAC trust value, ASSUMING MINIMAL REDEMPTIONS. As we now know, that scenario didn’t play out.
With the scale of redemptions, the remaining trust balance looks to be closer to ~$12m.
In the near term, that may not be critical if MarchGL does actually produce the necessary cash to fully fund the first two drills, as we all hope and expect.
However, the bigger question is what comes next. Exploration programmes rarely stop at two wells, and that original trust capital would likely have been earmarked for follow-on activity.
With the trust now significantly reduced, any additional drilling or wider exploration will presumably require alternative funding — whether that’s debt, equity raises, or further capital injections from partners as and when required. And in that context, ~$12m doesn’t go very far.
In the near term though the only purpose of that $12m is to keep the lights on at GNLD.
As with all my posts — past, present and future — this is IMHO only. Opinion, not advice. Please DYOR before making any investment decisions.
