D) Meeting targets
1. I 'believe' that, given the recent updates, they will. It's a possibility they won't.
2. If they don't, I'm not concerned. The cash position is good and I don't see a possibility of the plant not producing the grade and qty for the above-stated reasons - I've actually never seen a flotation unit not work once optimized - Has anyone? If so, can you give an example?
3. Raise: Also not concerned, the market cap is £100m+. Any pre-revenue company will need to raise cash; that's the point of these markets. Can you find me a pre-revenue company that isn't at risk of raising money?
4. A raise, should there be one, will be value accretive, as have been the prior raises for Zulu , but when SC6 is produced and in qty then it will be at a higher price than current, and I agree with Acker in that case, likely Dec.
5. My view is that there won't be one, but I agree that it's a possibility. I'll happily support one, but I think Canmax would support again.
Performance:
Prem is significantly undervalued vs. non- producing and producing peers.
For example, you could invest in ALL at £168m Mcap and nowhere near production.
Prem has compiled a plant in a remote location in 1/4 to 1/5th of the usual time. That's quite incredible to those experienced in mining. Even with the commissioning problems, it's still well ahead of the curve regarding typical timings.
Prems assets have yet to be fully explored. Significant upside remains just on Zulu resource estimates.
Canmax has chosen to back prem; I don't see many £B+ companies taking significant stakes in Aim-listed equities.
I've followed prem for many years and am fully aware of the company's history and PR. I've chosen to invest now because of the significant discount, a solvable problem, the inevitability of production, and where it is in the asset/risk cycle and valuation.
As stated before I expect an update earliest at the end of Oct. There’s no advantage in rushing out a legal document about grades and production before full optimisation has been finished.
