Nice paragraphing John…. I like to leave a space when I paragraph
I agree with all that you say, except that I like some of the links
@JAG and
@Sammael post from the bird…. And I also like the links to Kiki Kienge (Kongo Press Reporter), she posts a lot of good information on corruption in the DRC.
Nigel and the BOD on big weekly salaries collecting free shares and negotiating their way smoothly through the roadshow’s and AGM while shareholders desperately needing to access their money continue to suffer…. Only options to maintain your sanity seems to either mentally right them off (for the time being put them in the bottom draw) or stop tuning in to find out the latest updates.
I don’t want to be here anymore either so I’m hoping people don’t refer to me in their posts because I always feel I should respond when they do.
I put a post up last week with my thoughts on the ML plus our Capital Requirements and @Winenut(s) replied about CATH still agreeing to fund us in return for offtake if they pull out of their 24% in Dathcom.
That $400million would then be like a prepayment for our SC6 (and they want nearly all of our product) which would mean that money was spent on construction (CAPEX) so we wouldn’t be getting it back to pay off our debt to the PAN AFRICAN DFI’s.
I also referred to our BOD considering paying $25million to Dathomir (through the courts) but that was a figure that stemmed from the company. Since looking into it further, I read that a Lubumbashi Court already ruled in favour of AVZ’s acquisition of 10% of Dathomir and it was the remaining 5% which was in question…. And for this 5%, Dathomir (Cong) wants $50million.
So a quick recalculation on Capital related matters to query our CFO….
$150 million (15% to Cominiere)
$ 50 million ( 5% to Dathomir)
$600 million (PAN AF DFI’s - Debt/Equity)
$400 million (Pre-purchased SC6 CAPEX)
Final thoughts….
I wouldn’t be expecting Simon Cong to be held accountable for anything, other than providing the bed linen and snacks at his luxury hotel in Kinshasa, where politicians seem to be conducting their conferences from.
Anyone loyal to Nigel wanting to run this by him (or CFO Jan)…. Tell them MB said to say hi and don’t worry about returning his calls…. He’s lost fucken interest
