Hi RT,

Yes, they are the most UN-promotional PM miner I think I have ever come across!

Even when they appear to have a good case to make they just seem to miss pushing on an open door. Yet they release news after market hours and other such poor PR, so I really worry about who is advising them.

Yes, they are making progress, all be it painfully slowly. They are obviously working to a very tight budget and keeping costs and expenditures under a very firm hand. However, all this will be worth the wait if they can manage the transition from Developer to 'profitable' Producer and keep debt to a minimum over the next couple of quarters. My biggest gripe to date is the lack of news and transparency, but I'll live with that IF they produce the goods.

I note that the 6m results only reflected c. 3 months of usage of the new U/G equipment's. Also some 3 weeks of June were impacted by the plant being down for maintenance. So effectively, much of the 1H production would appear to be due to some 9 weeks of reasonable ore throughput.

Clearly, much of the processed ore is development ore which by definition tends to be lower in grade than stope ore due to the higher levels of sterile waste contained within it. This will obviously continue throughout mine-life because of the need to always be progressing new stope access. However, as stope production eventually increase the proportion of development ore should decline relative to the higher-grade stope ore.

I note that the gravity concentrator should be coming on stream during the remaining months of 2H, so recoveries should be somewhat higher going forward.

Cash flow should be positively impacted by the higher gold price. The average for 1H was US$1,237/oz whereas 2H has averaged US$1,268/oz so far in the 3rd quarter. Also, the final tranche of the EBRD loan gets paid off in October and means that future cashflows are then available for re-investment in the UG mine.

They still require new equipments for the UG mine. I would expect them to be able to fulfill their requirements via a loan package from an equipment supplier.

On their financials: progress has been painfully slow but their 6m figures do show improving metrics across the piste. Given the above points I would expect a further improvement over the 2nd half irrespective of fresh CAPEX availability, but clearly an equipment loan/lease agreement would help a lot.

Appreciate the comments, nice to see some volume rolling through..........

[chrisdgb] 09/8/2017 15:33

Gold miners up, Altyn down..................

[chrisdgb] 08/8/2017 08:27

I am still waiting and wondering...!!

[chrisdgb] 18/7/2017 08:33

I wonder when we will get news on the financing..??

[sloppyg] 28/6/2017 19:55

Agreed RT. Capex required has now moved to the top of their previous quoted range at $30m.

They do not want to be doing a significant fund raise at this share price given the dilution.

I actually eased out of a fair few when the spread closed and got closer to 2p a short while ago. Still retain a significant position however.

Belief in the long term story remains intact but history has taught me, rightly or wrongly, to keep powder dry and watch from the sidelines when material funding discussions are in progress.....

[roguetreader] 28/6/2017 17:59

On the face of it good news, progress seems to be being made. As ever total lack of any detail around quantifying the progress made, forecasts for production or what the financing of $30m is going to be used for in the next stage of development. Given the share price is towards the bottom of a range it has been cycling between for about a year or more, it could be a good place to top up further.Personally I'm going to wait to see how the financing pans out before pitching in further.

AGM Comments:

The project in relation to the Sekisovskoye mine is moving ahead as planned, with access to the portal completed and the processing plant operating with minor modifications, production is being extracted from ore body 5. Ore bodies 2 and 10 are currently being prepared for production to ensure a continuation of a reliable high grade ore feed into the processing plant. The initial capex requirement has been fulfilled but further capex and investment will be required in the forthcoming year as the underground mine is expanded.

In this regard, a great deal of work has been carried out in the background, with the Directors actively marketing the Company to obtain the necessary capital investment to take the project to the next stage of development. The actual level of funding is estimated based on current forecasted cash flows to be in the region of US$30m.

The Company is currently in discussion with a number of parties who have expressed an interest in financing the project. These parties have been supplied with detailed information and analysis in order to progress their appraisal of the project. We will of course advise shareholders as the discussions progress, and will of course move the investment forward on the most favourable terms that we can negotiate.

The principle assumptions underlying our modelling in relation to our current mine plan remain valid. The price of gold has remained stable and we do not anticipate any significant changes from the current price, however there are indications that the demand and price of gold may increase in the future, but even at current prices and our anticipated cash cost the project will generate a very good return.

In relation to Karasuyskoye area, the validation of the acquired geological data is continuing but the primary focus at the current time remains on Seki. Initial work undertaken at this site is encouraging, and I would remind shareholders this is a hidden gem for the future growth of the Company.

AGM a week today, hoping for some positive progress to help us push back towards 2p level.........

[chrisdgb] 07/6/2017 07:30

All should be well supported by the current leg up in Gold price.......

[chrisdgb] 02/5/2017 08:43

That target price will be nice.........

[bornloser2] 02/5/2017 08:28

a nice buy advice from share prophets today-buy at up to 2.30 with a 5.75 target.

[sloppyg] 29/4/2017 07:27

Obviously a set of results keen to bury as it's all about the future.

Unfortunately Mr Market will pick up on 2 things. Firstly 9 month delays which in the grand scheme of things is nothing to worry about. More importantly though that they need funds,as we knew, to be able to continue developing u/g.

Personally think it will be at the higher end of their expectations so $30m + imo. It appears that the mJor shareholder wants others involved now but they have not been forthcoming to date. We have proved an inability to service debt effectively (without support) so that avenue is likely drying up. It leaves equity and the dilution will be significant at these low share prices.

Somehow we just need to get through the next 18 months when cash from ops can take over. I do however have concerns about the extent of dilution in this period.

[sloppyg] 20/4/2017 07:51

Concur with that RT.
We need some clarity on funding asap. The 2017 capex budget is not insignificant and will certainly not be self funded.
One presumes, the default position will be further support from the owners but the company have stressed they are keen to get others on board.
Already have a significant holding here and would add further but flying blind in the absence of more meat on the bone from mgt.

[handlebar123] 19/4/2017 09:34

Good output for March combined with better grade. Looking to hold and add on dips here. Good luck all ;-)

[chrisdgb] 19/4/2017 08:11

Good looking operational update, all eyes on underground...........

[chrisdgb] 12/4/2017 15:17

Nice break out today.............
