I will not say FFS! more debt

Looking at the figures, if I have this right.

Slight reduction in overall debt by $10m to $348m (excluding today)

Out of the $46m new loan, $20m to be used on existing loan. That makes it $26m.

I make the new debt now to be $374m now, so not that much more at first look


Looks like the Co need to increase production before the debt can start to be serviced

Hi MattI keep a Snub357 by the bed just incase...Trump is here in Florida licking his wounds...the Republican "Orcs" are gathering strength across the country and are awaiting instruction from the Madman himself! I dont think we have heard the last of him.itsNice to see the trendline looking more positive,I think the share price has some catching up to do as well with Gold holding $1850+Some positive news from the company and we have lift-off!!The

nice to hear form you eke …. i hope you are keeping your head down over there at this time.
If the sellers are willing to throw them away like this at under 10p then, I'll keep taking them

[eke] 21/1/2021 18:07

100p by May 2024 (my retirement date)would make me very happy!40p in 18 months is very realistic.

[fozzie] 21/1/2021 17:18

Let’s hope so Matt, not a big position for me but I have enough at an average of 10p to look in from time to time. Just need some good news.

[mattjos] 21/1/2021 14:23

the crowd will be here soon enough bmcb5. I retain my 40p+ price target in the next 18 months

[bmcb5] 21/1/2021 11:58

Good to hear, Mattjos, thanks. I have no plans to buy or sell, but am happily sitting on what I have

[mattjos] 19/1/2021 15:12

& when a little seller does emerge, it just triggers a flurry of small buys

[mattjos] 19/1/2021 12:05

Price rise not exactly flushing out a tide of sellers

[mattjos] 19/1/2021 08:15

Finally WHIS now moved up significantly on the order book

[mattjos] 18/1/2021 15:18

bit more two-way volume coming back into the stock now that signs of life are emerging

[mattjos] 17/1/2021 16:51

For obvious reasons (7th highest % Gainer on LSE) the thread experienced 3 month high in number of visits on Friday so, likely now been put on a few other Watchlists.
We've been overlooked for quite an extended period of time now but, throughout that time progress will have been made at Pakrut.

The Mine Plan and underlying assumptions had anticipated steady state processing of the price of Gold to average $1,300 / oz for this year of production …. gold currently averaging circa 30% above that figure.

Agreed kingyon1, glad to hear at least one other concludes same.Achieving Phase II should be greeted with some enthusiasm by the market later this year.

[kingyon1] 15/1/2021 18:13

Hi Matt, you are not alone! I bought a few more on Wednesday. I too have noticed the slow canny accumulation over the last few sessions.
If/when the second phase is in full tilt this year I firmly believe we’ll be off to the races.
Debt pay down could be a lot more rapid than people think if POG holds over $1800.

[mattjos] 15/1/2021 16:52

do pop in and say hello whoever the other buyer(s) is/are

[mattjos] 15/1/2021 14:50

strongly bid this afternoon .. not that I am remotely tempted at this stupid price

[mattjos] 15/1/2021 14:34

There's the breakout

[mattjos] 15/1/2021 08:55

Couple of new links in the header for folk

[mattjos] 14/1/2021 21:00

Clever Trading again today … gave up 100 & gained 40,000
It's a slow motion lesson in accumulation for those interested to watch

[mattjos] 07/1/2021 13:08

Online Buy & Sell price is identical at 9.55p

[mattjos] 07/1/2021 11:36

someone here is entering tiny buy orders on the Bid side to try and encourage some selling & hoping to get follow on selling as a result … the liquidity is currently low and so that is how they have managed to get some stock recently (unopposed).
Personally, I believe there is some stealthy background demand for the stock … all is not as it seems to the casual observer.

[mattjos] 07/1/2021 09:39

I don't get as hung up about the debt as others seem to.
CNMIM are behaving impeccably towards their prodigy. They are standing behind the debt until such time as the mine has reached its full planned productive output & reliably so … based on the main 'levers' that influence the financials of such an operation, CNG will be able to deal with that debt & start to reduce it.
The fact that equity remains overlooked just now does not mean it will permanently remain so. As/when Pakrut starts producing at / around 100,000oz Gold a year, the market will not be able to ignore it & it looks increasingly likely that the mine will achieve that milestone during a time when gold is trading at over well over $2,000/oz … that's annual Revs of $200m+ from a low-cost operation.
The debt won't look so intimidating to folk then & I believe the equity certainly won't be valued at less than 20p

[digger18] 07/1/2021 09:05

Thank you for the summary Matt.
I am also looking for them to make a statement regarding the debt management, so if this and phase 2 update come together, in conjunction with current POG, this should start to roll. Like Aaz, we seem to be in an RNS watershed moment.

[mattjos] 06/1/2021 19:04

I'll spare everyone all the details and cut'n'paste of where I get the information from but, if you do the legwork it's all out there for you to find and you'll see what I am posting is correct:

Here is my current Overall Status summary of Pakrut.

Phase I completed mid-November 2018

Planned lead time from Completion of Phase I to completion of Phase II is 32 months.

We are now in the 26th month of steady-state 2,000t/day Production so, assume Phase II production uplift will arrive from July this year.

Planned Phase II rate of Production is 106,000oz / year

Combined Processing and Refining rate was planned/calculated at 82.99%

From the last Half Year results, the actual combined (Processing and Refining) Rate was 79.14% (85.96% of 92.07%)


The Economic Cut-Off point was planned/calculated at 1.58g/t … BUT, this was based on a Gold Price of $1,250/oz & the sensitivity analysis showed that "the sale price has the most influence when calculating economic cut-off, followed in decreasing order of influence by Operating Cost, static ROI & Royalty Rate."

A 20% increase in the Gold Sales price (from $1,250/oz to $1,500/oz lowered the Economic Cut-Off to 1.32g/t. The SRK model did not even forecast / model gold price any higher than this but, at the current Gold Price, it looks likely that the Economic Cut-Off is now down to circa 1.1g/t

Average Grade of Ore being reported is 2.28g/t

So, we have no problem with length of Mine.

Combined Recovery Rate is 5% below target (hence management reference to focus on improving this).

Realised Gold price is well above expected and more than offsets the Recovery Rate variance.

As mining projects go, I believe the company is doing a great job & it's not long to wait before we move into the next gear & start to see some real cashflow being thrown off by the operation.

Some people might not like the way data is reported here as it seems different from other miners but, the company is reporting on key performance data that was deemed relevant & highlighted per the Mine Plan.
I'm sure management is keeping things simple and the message to the Pakrut team is to hit/exceed the metrics as per the Mine Plan and Pakrut will be a winner

Once we hit steady-state Phase II then, I'm quite sure we'll go back exploring at Eastern Pakrut and Rufigar and then Sulfidnoye because, the earlier reports came up with some exceptional grades there & about our doorstep.
