JB, cant say I was surprise that a jv hasn't taken place. My thoughts were that the idea of a jv was great for bringing about a little interest (carrot and stick approach) while the sp was rising, but was likely to fail and instead provide an opportunity for a decent size raise - which happened
Sounds like a sensible approach Dave
My take is just because a company is look for a project, doesn't mean share holders (pi's) will get something for nothing.
Anyone thinking a profit generating project is on the table and available for peanuts is just being naive. I'm sure many understand that in order to find one project the buyer will either need to have a lot of cash or be willing to print a lot of shares and of course, add value in some way.
I'd settle for the licence renewal and a push through 1p to get the ball rolling cipro
Although quite a bit of volatility so 2p wouldn't be out of the question with the right news flow and some interest
all in good time?
Thanks knownuffin, good luck to you too
The same will apply to your mindset and agendas also, an much like you, I have no interest what you hold either as I don't see the game as a team sport
In the mean time, I shall sit back and wait for that NASDAQ listing that people are talking about
Ah yes I did say aim CEO, well either way knownuffin.. doesn't make a great deal of odds
I like to think I do use my time wisely, you don't have to be 100% in a share to comment as far as I know?
But I do get cautious when I start to see group think
Don't think I said it was, vorag
Your belief will be different from mine
Currently wondering if this breaks the 1p support area after testing it recently, would not surprise me by the looks of things.
No real clarity on the way forward has let the rot set in
I applaud the optimism there seamus but talk of divs and 200m mcap for me is a long long way from where crtm is at present, I've no doubt many aim CEO's wish for the same, all depends on what project is brought on board and at what cost.. personally have been happy to have seen this trade from 6p onwards... but I shall be moving forward more cautiously!
So in terms of q1 numbers 4004 carats sold at an average of $446
4 of which sold for $381k
In which case total revenue - 4004 x 446 = $1.785784m total
discounting the large stones would give $1.404784m for 4000 Carats = $351 per (smaller stone) carat
In short, when the new mine becomes operational in July with an all in cost of ~$200/carat, it looks like there's a decent amount of profit even for the smaller stones.
Hard to see how the sp doesn't recover over the coming months !?
Indeed furry, seems like the bod are in a tough spot and not sure how they get out of it. Cash burn with no additional project on the horizon puts them in a weak position, but then TA would know the cash is ticking down also, not such a win win situation. interesting.
Nice to see the positive results and increase in diamond prices generally
Now rainy season is out the way, kind of bodes well for Q2 even with a slightly frustrating month/two month delay in plant expansion. That said I don't think I've ever seen a company complete a project at the time they first expect an this is no exception. July it is..
Would be interesting to know what the additions/ancillaries are to the plant, re-crushing circuit, covers, national grid link etc on the ground updates would be useful
Looking positive for future returns!
Once the company enter a run of good news:
-improved Q1
-further large diamonds & price improvements
- Progress on new process equipment, higher production
- lower costs due to higher process volumes
- more larger diamonds
-grid connection lowering costs further
-cash flow positive
over the coming months, mm will feel more confident in raising the bid as volume increases.
Same goes for the ask for that matter!
Nice little blip to the upside, helps to wake up the long suffering krs holder/follower
Now if that Togo licence could land sometime soon things might get interesting
I'd agree with the waiting patiently ivans, uncertainty as it is and delays in the process of project hunting makes me think the mm might not want the bid too high for a while, particularly with TA's 20% a chunk of which bought in the 0.7's
Might let the dust settle
By the looks of things, Q1 results will be a lot stronger than Q4 for what appears to be a decent recovery play. Add to that a vast increase in productivity over the next few months should move this back to operationally profitable (Q1) to having decent free cash flow.. (Q3) not sure the market sees it yet, but should be an interesting few months ahead
For me the vote was too much of an unknown/slim chance so reduced risk in what appears good time. Decent amount of fresh air under the sp to 1.2 if no deal turns up soon, but then could turn up anytime?
binary, but watching from the side lines
Well guess if you stick by the Kelly Criterion, looks like its serving you well. Managing about 200% this end in what's been a volatile year or so.. but something tells me going forward may require a little more selectivity and research.
Had a very 'neutral' stance here since end of 19, but almost looks like deja vu, interesting
dozer, the dip on Friday was down to shares being admitted from funding, mm's being cautious
But it does present an opportunity to position well for the coming months/year ahead!!
Yeah looks like these lulls/tree shakes coincided with the pullback in crude through $60, interesting how sensitive the equities are to the underlying.. but even $59 is better than last years print of ~$34 ish!
Slow and steady with a couple of good Q results should bring a little strength, particularly once the less sticky shares are gone
Good to see an active project on board.. finally!
Now just the wait for Italy along with some reasonable PR, might see this valued like any other energy play out there over the coming months? chances are improving
