@biffa - timing is everything
The problem here has in part been Will/Alex approach to minimise dilution over the years that has been praised until now.
4 weeks ago we were bouncing at 50p, I suspect that they were looking to raise in the mid 40s, in part due to Myles commenting on the lack of traction following the DFS update including Poland and his comments on the trading range. Doesnt shout radio silence ahead of placing.
Then, Iran, where all REE stocks fell around 25% alongside a complete change to risk profiling when making investment.
Hindsight, raise when the going is good, not 11th hour.
Saving grace, opportunity is pretty much unchanged. Nasdaq and end of war are key to rearate, just dont expect £1plus quickly. I recall Pensanas project value for Angola being 65p and the Shares sat at 15p. Of course they jumped to 180p but fell back to the current strategic investment level today around 80-90p.
It will take time to derisk.
That said, MKA have a few more strings to their bow.
Execution from here is key. Intrigued at the German acquisition. I recall the hypromag one, hopefully this is also a game changer.
