RE: SP fall - has the drill failed?23 Apr 2024 09:03
The SP fall is due to the placing shares being sold off. Nothing more. As I said, we need another positive update to flush them through the system before we see a rise.
Remember this drilling is just the first stage before they form the JV company:
Subject to regulatory approval of the EIA, in Stage 1 of the EIA, KoBold is committed to complete at least two drill holes (for a total of at least 2,000m of drilling) within 14 months, with drilling to start no later than May 2024 KoBold's planning of the Stage 1 drill programme is well advanced with the first drill site selected.
On completion of Stage 1, the parties will form a joint venture company ("JVC") to hold the Licence and enter into a shareholder agreement, the form of which is set out in the EIA. The initial JVC ownership will be KoBold 51%, TMZ 39% and Mwashia 10%. Mwashia's equity interest will be free carried by KoBold and can be purchased by KoBold at any time for US$3.5 million.
KoBold may elect to increase its ownership in the JVC to 70% in Stage 2 of the EIA through sole funding a cumulative expenditure of US$6 million on exploration within 4 years of signing after which TMZ will hold a 20% interest, and Mwashia will continue to hold a 10% carried interest in the JVC.
After Stage 1 (or Stage 2 depending on KoBold's election at the end of Stage 1) TMZ may elect to contribute to the further costs of the JVC pro-rata with its shareholding or dilute its interest in line with the customary joint venture dilution formula. Should TMZ dilute down to 10% shareholding in the JVC then TMZ's 10% interest will convert to a 1% net smelter return royalty payable for a 13-year period following the start of commercial production.
If KoBold can elect to buy Mwashia's 10% interest for $US3.5 million what is TYM's 39% interest worth, should they decide to buy the company out?
