something is going on behind closed doors, mtl sarl represents Candy brothers and they owned 47% last time I checked and I dont know what percentage other lender owns.Mezzanie style debt facility sounds interesting as that would mean in case of default they would be among major lenders banks to get assets.If share prophet is right then company has spent about 200 million on plant now.It is producing 45 to 48k ounces of gold per year.Capacity is 96k.Went through company reports and feasibility reports and this was supposed to cost company 45 million per year which works out to be 460/470 dollars per ounce.Assuming that all in all cost has gone up, we assume that it cost them 700/800 per ounce.Candy brothers are up to something, they know company is struggling and needs money so would try to get a mezzanie style debt facility or could force company into issuing some new shares for debt and that would increase their holding.Ball is in major lenders court, company can get its restructuring sorted by 31 December or it has to give in to major shareholder's demands.
