RE: HH more wells17 Jun 2018 14:14
I am heavily invested in this but I try and keep as level headed as I can be and see things for what they are, not what I wish them to be. At the present time, ALBA sentiment is very negative even though it has tremendous potential. If marketed and developed properly the SP will increase significantly and this is evedent from various third party reports that value ALBA much much higher from where we now are.
Currently, ALBA is not adequately promoted hence the SP. At a quarter of a penny the SP is where it was a year ago and for me it has to go up by about 100% to break even. I am not yet worried as a change in market sentiment can move the SP up past my average buy in price very quickly.
On the issue of more wells, mentioned in the RNS, more wells means more cash. We really do need to see the SP go much higher up before any more wells are due to be drilled.
Unlike other mining companies, ALBA is in a unique situation as HH revenue and profits can be utilised to develop the mining assets, minimising share dilution. I do hope GF really comes up with a timetabled plan that he can sell to the markets.
I do appreciate that things in mining take a long time to develop, Blue Jay is still not there yet, but their SP went from 2p to 20p++ in about 2 years. We have better potential, yet our SP has gone nowhere in the last 2 years, nothing was added to shareholder value (as measured by the SP). What is Blue Jay doing that we don’t?
Is time to add to shareholder value. Is time for GF to convince the market by coming up with convincing plans. IMO, since we do not have unlimited reserves of cash, he should prioritise asset development and add a timeline to make them believable. For example, if we are aiming for TBS JORC, surely GF knows the steps that he has to go through in order to achieve certification, it should be easy to attach a target dates to the various stages. Just like it was done for HH development. GLTA.
