RE: We would never try to dilute shareholders6 Jun 2023 11:05
Sticking to RNS information maybe he can explain these bizarrely constructed loans that were mentioned in the 2019 final results RNS.
(1)"On 19 July 2018 the Company agreed to subscribe for 35,519 common shares in Amulet Diamond Corporation at a subscription price of US$2.76 per common share. The Company further subscribed to US$401,961 of shareholder loans. These shareholder loans are unsecured, non-interest bearing and have no fixed maturity or repayment date"
Q: This loan was later impaired. Why would you agree to give a loan that is unsecured, non-interest bearing and has no repayment date? What was your thought process? Surely you just gave this money away and dressed it up to be called a loan?

(2) " The Company also reviewed an outstanding loan of £267,983 made to Legacy Hill Resources Inc, a US based operator of metallurgical coal assets. Following discussions with Legacy Hill Resources, the view was taken that the Omega metallurgical coal mine, the sole asset of Legacy Hill Resources Inc, had ceased coal production and was unlikely to have residual value sufficient to pay off the loan, and so the decision was made to impair this loan in full"
Q: Legacy hill were your former company Regency mines JV partners. This JV project was nothing to do with Red Rock. There was no upside only downside on this loan because if the JV project failed the lenders lost everything.
So because at the time you were Ceo/Chairman of both RGM and Red Rock Resources you clearly made the decisions. So with no upside only downside for Red Rock why would you take £267,983 of Red Rock's money to loan it to Legacy hill? Your reckless decision lost Red Rock £267,983.
