I agree with you booboo but in just over two weeks time Mining equity trust (or MET) will have been operating this coal mine for 3 whole months, so you would think at that point 3 months of cold hard figures could be given.
I've looked at some of the USA coal companies and they make their coal reports nice and easy to understand by breaking all the coal numbers down; so they list all their different types of coal, how much tonnage was sold in each, how much did each ton cost to produce, at what tonnage price did they sell each variety of coal for, what was the profits (per ton) for each variety of coal, of course they also give revenues + profits.
My big fear is, if Mining equity trust (or MET) soon give RGM quarterly coal figures, then i fear RGM chairman would just lazily clump all those quarterly figures together, so there would be no number breakdowns in the RGM rns, so PIs would be left scratching their heads confused by all those clumped together numbers. Of course if that happened then i suspect this share price would tank further.
Just my opinion but Andrew Bell has been next to useless in promoting this latest coal JV. I mean in one of his earliest interviews (after the 2nd August RNS) he was telling the interviewer that profit margins were good from this coal mine. You would have hoped a more competent chairman would've then made it clear in the interview or more preferably in an RNS, what was the average coal tonnage price that they got from Dominion, also what was it costing to produce, also what was the profits on each ton of coal. Also explain the highwaller lease costs and explain what impact those highwaller lease costs could have on present profit margins.
Unfortunately this chairman did none of this, he just left lots of RGM shareholders nervy and many have sold up because of it. I feel in different circumstances with a more competent chairman this RGM share price could've been now 1p. Unfortunately that's not to be because RGM shareholders are unfortunately left with the incompetent one. In my opinion more useless you couldn't find. I will end now because this is getting really depressing.
