I have over 2 million of these shares and have no intentions of selling any.
I can afford to lose the shares and whilst it would be a very big blow, I would still have a good standard of living through my pensions.
I thought you should know that before I write the following.
Please do not invest in any share unless you are willing to lose it all.
I know people are saying this is a sure winner, but we as a company are at risk until funding is sorted.
We owe Newcrest approximately 54 million dollars ( interest at base rate + 8%) and need to find another 63 million dollars as our part of the funding to production.
We are told term sheets are sitting on the desk, but none have been concluded so far. It could be that we are waiting for the 5% fmv to be concluded, but where we are in this process is shrouded in mystery with no updates from either side.
The S.P. Is under pressure and unless we had drastic dilution, we couldn’t raise the money through a placing. ( this could be one reason Why our SP is being targeted?)
The 5% fmv is deadlocked. Newcrest appear to not want to meet our valuation and we are not prepared to accept their offer, despite a 20% range having been re-negotiated. This means we can’t pay back the loan to Newcrest at the moment. So I am asking myself, do we have a time limit on the loan? Does it need to be repaid soon? If not we are building up quite a lot of interest to be added. So does that help Newcrest?
If the 5% is deadlocked shouldn’t we be pushing for arbitration and an independent valuation by now?
Without this being completed, would the term sheets be agreed by the banks with a 54 million dollar loan tied to Havieron?
Unless something is sorted, we are slowly going to use up the cash which was raised last year. We have an expanding team at GGP, which must have an impact on outgoings. We have not broadcast our drilling plans for our own tenements, this year, so is this because we are conserving cash?
We all know the story of SXX, who couldn’t raise the cash to continue. Are we seeing the vultures circling to ensure we cannot raise our part of the capital needed?
What would happen if we couldn’t get the bank finance, because we couldn’t sort the 5%?
Newcrest and others could be exerting some real pressure on us.
