True but to a point we already know where the money's gone. Similar to an oil and exploration company, the money has gone on preparatory work which obviously doesn't cost nothing!! As such, in the event that WHE divests itself of it's UCG licences were another company to come along and take the licences the preparatory work may have some value. That, after all, is to some extent what Lincs were getting (and the assets themselves). That seems the only way WHE will get anything out of the UCG and may be a long shot. Likewise with the uranium. We know it's there as it's already been mined there. However, to mine it takes money which WHE doesn't have and with uranium still priced below the price required for break even at least, who at this time would agree to a farm-in or outright buy. So, unless WHE can get the funds to sit tight, the uranium will go the way of the UCG. So, yes, it is a critical moment for WHE. We'll see in a few days time how the rights issue went (or a further extension) but yes much more detailed guidance is required.
