Rare Earth producer RBW make Phalaborwa breakthrough with Flowsheet process for 65% recovery rate. Watch the full video here.
Great RNS. I can see Salarius getting an IPO no problem at all. Even competitors might like a slice when the time comes.
Very good. Bought a few more today off the back off that RNS. Nice price for how well TEK is progressing
It was live stream Digger so doubt you will find a recording. It was literally the presentation docs. and a couple of squares up when CEO, CFO etc where talking during the Q&A session.
My key takeaway is 2nd quarter has ramped up prescription wise. There's a lag so no figures quite yet. An update in August at the latest which should include this and that they will avoid dilution if possible, through continuing discussions (partnerships and royalty selling-on etc)
They were saying all the right things. They just have to deliver now. (easier said than done of course)
The company revealed that prior to agreeing in principle to the shareholder loan it had explored the possibility of raising US$30mln in equity by means of a non-dilutive debt facility from a financial institution but the idea was abandoned because of challenging market conditions.
--------------------------------------
It s probably worthwhile knowing that at least they tried a non-dilutive form of funding. I think they remain comited to this through their comments last night. Whether they can pull it off remains to be seen
Apart from the finance all sounds great. Hopefully a bit more traction in sales and they'll be in a better position to work something out. A partnership or complete buy out would do us all a favour.
Also, nearly forgot and this is important. At full payer coverage the $250 covers 30 days supply. I say this because it may have communicated on this bb as a quarterly supply in the past. It's $3000 a year
Also sounds like they've been doing a bit of hiring and firing. He effectively said that most of the sales drive has been done by 20 reps. You'd hope they'd have learned a few lessons here going forward.
They're also focusing on women's health as mentioned previously. 1/3 of their calls generating half their business so they've obviously pinpointed this area as being more cost effective.
Listened in to this. They'll publish the whole lot on the IR site on their website no doubt but he did say, they don't know the numbers but are pleased with what they are seeing in the 2nd quarter.
Some stuff about how hard it is to raise cash in the current market and the delay was whilst they were finalising. Also that they remain in a number of discussions and are exploring options. Royalty selling and partnership investment was also mentioned which as PIs is probably what we want to see.
Overall reasonably positive and they all appear pretty bullish (but then they always are aren't they)
Aside from any stand alone updates there's likely to be an update on first half of the year in August so we'll get a better look of the acceleration of prescriptions and hopefully another forward looking statement.
Could be worse. They all sounded keen and positive, but they would wouldn't they !
Morning all
Great RNS from Bell. Very important to TEK that BELL progesses as it's doing. It undermines the whole TEK business model and also fundamental to value.
Hard times with regard to the market but AIM stocks generally recover quickly when they upturn comes. Hopefully sooner rather than later
I agree Spindok. They've bought some time. Looks like one of the 4 main sharholders (Dave?) have bailed them out but they ve really got to ramp this up now. Better value for shareholders if they sell or partner. They've more or less put themselves up for sale with that RNS imho
No clues at all. We're all hanging on for an update on sales trajectory and the cash position. The Analyst meeting and Q&A session suggests they know they're going to get all these questions. Hopefully they've got the right answers and a lot of it will be covered in the initial RNS. We will see.
Approx . 151M (70% ) of shares held by 7 II's for ages - Accrufer is worth 100's of millions and they will stop any low ball shenanigans.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You d think so Dave but at the moment it's looking like they only way they are going to stop a super low ball offer is to fund STX lock stock and barrel. It's a tricky one for them as diluting reduces their initial holding anyway. They may just have to cut their losses and accept an offer. There's 4 of them so won't take all of them to be on board with selling out on the cheap and recouping something. We'll have to see. Not being negative, just perplexed at the SP action and wondering what these majority holders are doing /intending to do in the background etc
Sitting duck. If they don't pull a rabbit out the hat. Those major insti's might be looking at an offer of £50-£100 million and might have to bite the bullet. That or fund again, or lose. I'd love to be a fly on their respective walls !
Just to speculatively put down some numbers so I can later be one of those know-it-alls you get on the bbs (when I'm most definitely far from), I'm saying dilution now to raise £10-12m, then debt financing in q4 or q1 of 2023 of £5-10m.
------------------------------------------------
Could well be something like that Sam. You'll get the know it all kudos if it transpires. If that is the case I hope it's already been done. I haven't seen any evidence of tail swallowing through the trades over the last few weeks/months though so impossible to call. That elusive RNS will be dropping very soon and then we'll all know for sure!
Guess. I was wrong about PIs left in. The volume and sell amounts are pathetic. Incredible that they can knock so much off a market cap. They keep putting UTs through at 13p so I'm really hoping to a decent trade go through around that mark later today.
I did say Hope
I'd take death spiral funding over dilution. Buys a bit of time for them to turn it around/a landmark payment to come in etc, and they don't have to use it. Like you say there's always death spiral funding (worst alternative) and that junk is available to everyone (SYME etc etc)
