bond guarantee30 Mar 2015 20:08
MWA are guaranteeing the bond payments are met but the payments actually come from BNC. There is very little risk commercially, the smelter operational is worth maybe $500m and there is huge demand regionally for smelting. Many ship 4000 miles to smelt as Glencore do now with our concentrate. There is absolutely no threat to MWA as the amount concerned is peanuts compared to potential revenues from the smelter.
