Goulding, you asked for my thoughts.
I'd say that they have laid it all out in the following 2 sections of the RNS as to what is likely going to happen.....
"The Company is currently in discussions to secure a potential non-equity funding package for Greenfield, that would, inter alia, enable Greenfield to ultimately acquire the remaining 90% of the Membership Interests in TSHII and cover the currently estimated construction costs of two commercial scale oil sands separation plants and requisite associated supporting infrastructure to enable the future mining of oil baring sands at the TSHII site.
Whilst there can be no certainty that such funding arrangements will be successfully concluded, or as to the terms or structure of any such non-equity funding in TomCo, one scenario that is currently under active consideration would involve TomCo disposing of a majority stake in Greenfield to a partner(s) in return for, inter alia, certain upfront cash consideration, a continuing equity participation for TomCo in Greenfield without the requirement for further capital contributions from TomCo and the provision of a sizeable funding package to Greenfield. It is the intention of TomCo that any funding package provided to Greenfield would enable the construction of two oil sands separation plants capable of processing at least 6,000 tonnes per day of oil sands, along with at least 14 in-situ oil recovery wells. Any such proposed disposal would likely constitute a fundamental disposal pursuant to the provisions of Rule 15 of the AIM Rules for Companies and therefore be subject, inter alia, to the approval of TomCo's shareholders at a duly convened general meeting.
A further announcement(s) in respect of such ongoing discussions will be made in due course, as appropriate."
"The Company announces that the terms of the Valkor Loan have now been further varied to extend the repayment date for the remaining US$1,000,000 principal amount of the loan to the completion date of a suitable funding transaction for Greenfield that provides sufficient funds to TomCo to, inter alia, enable it to affect repayment."
