Afternoon Woolverstone13, a Merry Christmas to you. Your guess is as good as mine re the ESIA permit. It's a condition of the agreed equity finance that this permit is forthcoming, so i'd most certainly expect it within the next couple of months covid permitting. There's clearly a lot of optimism amongst the EMl management and the equity providers that this is just a matter of time and is 'when' not 'if'.
I think there'll be an amount of debt funding forthcoming again within the next few months, probably in the region of $300m (I'm working roughly on a 70/30 debt equity split) followed by another tranche of equity funding. It's worth listening to the podcast form the 16th November available on the Emmerson PLC site where the funding is set out very nicely. Charles Vaughan is a good listen. So yes a pretty good chance of more dilution.
