So What Next ???????6 Aug 2019 15:07
The RNS only indicated in simple terms that more time was required for the completion of the bond issue.
It is a reasonable assumption that this was due to lack of positive progress at this stage, but leaves the position open for it to settle before end of September. Patently not very good news but the door is still open. The RNS was brief , as obviously at this stage, any further info, however much we would have preferred it to be , would presumably not help.
I am a long term holder ( 10 years ) and so far have lost a very significant packet. I suspect that most investors on this board are in the same position to varying degrees. Whether I lose more is very dependent on how CF and Co. resolve the issue. Assuming that they settle the bond issue in the next few weeks , then there will be recovery, the road to first product in 2021 will not have changed , the figures, the costs , the profits , the timings, and all else.
What I cannot imagine is that this mine will not get built. Such is the potential future for this mine, its long term life, its product, its profits, for exports, for Treasury receipts, for employment, for local Yorksire prosperity.................... that the UK Government would be crazy not tl lend its support to getting it up and running quickly. Theresa May was inept, careless, and incompetent in managing Brexit, and she has demonstrated similar levels of crass incompetence in withdrawing the support of the UK Infrastructure Fund from the Stage 2 Finance deal.
I feel personally helpless, but I have written to Robert Goodwill ( Whitby MP ), Kwasi Kwarteng ( Business Minister ) , Andrea Leadsom ( Business Secretary ) , demanding that they intervene in the interests of the UK and Yorkshire , as well as for myself. A flood of letters/ e-mails to our Government, who need all of the success stories they can get, might help.
My sympathies to all of my loyal fellow believers. This is a story that I had not anticipated.
