I suspect UK government help is likely to be with the planning permissions, regulations, information supporting business plans and a lot of intangibles. A heavily in debted UK government is not going to have a lot of cash around but they can give good references to banks and hedge funds. I suspect a significant placing is likely to happen and that is when institutional buyers appear. As for a placing price, it would need to be attractive on the return for all the risk as everything has to be built including a mine in Angola.
