My pragmatic view is that ‘if’ there is a raise then it will be a last option and BoD will have minimised the dilution.
In the latest interview Brian highlights the CAPEX requirement potentially being as little as $7m with $4-5m in the bank following the ValOre share disposal, he also says that he wants to avoid dilution as much as he can as he and Luis are the two biggest holders. (Great to have a BoD who have the same #1 priority as the investors - making money!!)
Given the positive PEA and the even more positive Q3 extended PEA/PFS the ability to raise the remaining few million of CAPEX without dilution should be possible. However, ‘if’ there was to be a raise it is going to be relatively small and if it means production is locked in for early 2022, then it would have a positive not negative SP effect.
But for the record, my view is that CAPEX will be acquired through a route that avoids dilution. The economics of Pitombeiras support raising cash via loan, off take etc.
