I wouldn't trust anything that bloke says. Been guilty of stirring shit on HC before. Non holder and confessed drama spectator looking to play with people's emotions IMO.
Having said that, I wish we had some better comms from the BOD.
At the moment we can read this a few ways.
1) We are farked. Nothing is happening. We'll run of of funds, get delisted, Felix will lose the election, MoP doesn't go anywhere, CAMI doesn't release the fees for the whole PE that we want to pay to get the ML, MMCS ICC doesn't get resolved and Cominiere doesn't own 5% to give to the DRC. Personally I don't think it will get to that before a Plan B to salvage something from the wreckage.
2) All is sweetness and light. MMCS gets the arse. MoP goes with them. CAMI calcs the fees. We get the ML. Out of suspension. Rocketships, whales and $10 TO or GTFO.
3) Somewhere inbetween. MoP may or may not go. CAMI may stick with only calcing the fees for RD. MMCS ICC case may drag. In that event we MAY decide to forego a portion to get the majority and an ML. Possibly an adjustment to CATH percentage etc.
Q1: Why doesn't the BoD tell us status and most likely option? Either they don't know yet because of the usual DRC go-slow and shitfuckery and are adjusting course as they encounter things, don't GAF about letting us know, or a combination.
Q2: Why keep steaming on with drilling, building and other expenditure?
- Because slowing down might also mean a haircut on BoD salaries
- Because slowing down might demonstrate lack of confidence in an "imminent" solution to both DRC and SHs (though they could just fucking tell us how confident they still are and why. I'm not fluent in nods and winks).
- Because the delay in the ML is delaying us enough, and we want to keep moving. I'd like to know how much cash is going towards "long lead items", and not just buildings etc. Are we still doing that because we are still confident, or have we stopped?
- There may be some discussions with CATH re: their expectations for us to continue for them to keep extending.
- The BoD may actually be in possession of good info that we don't have, and they aren't sharing it for some unknown reason. And that reason better be bloody good.
I'm not saying it's all rainbows and unicorns, but not much has changed since a week ago as far as possible ways this pans out. Every time we have an extension the trolls come out to fuck with people's heads and emotions. Don't let them. Yes, I'll lose a metric shit-ton of money if this goes South or we get delisted, but I'll be fucked if I'll let some dickheads on HC make me jump out of a window because they claim they "spoke to the company" or got an email devaluing AVZ shares and itself might be just more trolling crap.
