Running on fumes9 Dec 2019 23:26
While I accept the company is sitting on a very large asset and I also accept the end justifies the means....nothing can detract from the fact that NM is struggling to find hard cash to secure their future plans. The Nov 25th RNS stating that BHP has given them $20 million, shows how difficult it is to secure BIG bucks. BHP has merely prolonged their agony by approx 28 days!
From their last financial report in Sept:
" It should be noted that the current working capital levels will not be sufficient to bring the Group’s projects into full development and production and, in due course, further funding will be required."
"These conditions give rise to a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt over the Group’s ability to continue asa going concern".
The above, together with their burn rate of $22/month in September and their savings of:
"As at 30 September 2019 the Group had US$16,506,686 in cash and cash equivalents and a net working capital surplus of US$17,293,619."
suggests they are running on fumes.....and hence the news blackout on anything substantive.
Times are hard lads.........money is no longer cheap. Why not watch the stock run down ...and then pick it up for a song? NM must be sweating.....
