Disappointed but hanging on - for now27 Aug 2024 20:42
Really disappointed for a number of reasons today.
We knew they were funded for the EWT and we all knew further funding would be required thereafter; but and it is a huge but, Jacobs said in the last webinar that they felt bad at the last placing but had no other options. He also said that with good EWT results they would be in control and not have to go cap in hand and essentially ruled out any further placings quoting any manner of other options they would use in the future. I now know that when his lips are moving it is because he is lying because the Blue Star deal must have been in play at that time.
That said, I could have stomached another placing if it followed good EWT results and was to further commercialising what is happening in Tanzania. That project is what I invested in. If I wanted to invest in American Helium I would have done so but believed in the Tanzanian project.
In fact it is ironic that in the RNS announcing the Blue Star deal today, at the bottom of the document, in the note to editors it states "Helium One Global, the AIM-listed Tanzanian explorer, holds prospecting licences across three distinct project areas, with the potential to become a strategic player in resolving a supply-constrained helium market".
My second disappointment was that having done further research on Blue Star, it is a punt. They have not produced anything yet and may not ever do so. They are short of cash too even if they get their hands on our money. It isn't even given that the deal will be sanctioned as it still needs regulatory approval.
I am hanging on as I still expect the final EWT results to be good and therefore restore a little faith but I do agree that the BOD needs some changes especially as they have now, wrongly in my book, caused a massive distraction for them and their shareholders.
