It was a said quite a few times last year that a bum deal would be better than no deal, and plenty of estimates of what a possible bum deal was were something around $40-50m which would be for the 900k Oz in the PFS. That point is more true now than it's ever been, a raise has to be the last last resort.
All the good points are the same still. It tier 1 resource jurisdiction, open pit, supposedly fairly short-term payback, supposedly easy to get the gold out of the dirt, it would be a short drilling program to bump up the confidence intervals of the resource. If multiple companies can be tempted to be interested in it even the bum deal is eight times a current share price. From what we've learnt since the strategy review, from what the company have had to say and what the LAG have said, is that there weren't even offers of the bum deal available. That isn't going to have changed, Claude couldn't even raise £3m at a paltry valuation.
I still think it's not viable right now, some posters here seem to be thinking that the project can go ahead in this current macro environment, but we're about to be in a position where for the first time since 2008 real interest rates in the bank are going to be positive. Investment is going to dry up and only the projects that promise massive returns we'll go ahead. It doesn't matter if you can pick up Landore on the cheap if it still cost you a boatload to get the pit going.
AM90, some great posts by you recently and over the years. They should have give you the CEO job!
