so little revenue for some time but the deal (with nice juicy figures) should come a lot quicker and hopefully a raise after the news. However, knowing how colin does it, he lets the boys at shard in first at a discount, which they probably pre-sell. How about at least offering normal shareholders the same deal Colin, that would be thoughtful and we know how you always say you value us?

Header updated, but I think this line here sums up our hopes for 2020

Mining targeted to commence Q2 2020, subject to bulk sample testing and availability of further funding and grant of small-scale mining permit including environmental permit

[the bull] 21/1/2020 00:27

1.96M market cap and only 558M or thereabouts shares in issue. All very quiet but see JLP are starting to bubble. Colin did target Kabwe production late 2019 so thats running a bit behind but granted not by much. I suspect he will try and raise again within days of good news but as long as that's north of where we are now, i am not bothered although I understand how long termers who haven't averaged down substantially would be. Two porta cabins and and a digger did he say. Tempted to add again

its like watching paint dry...

[deme1] 17/1/2020 15:55

JLP for me

[cmackay] 10/1/2020 17:01

Agreed!

And on a personal note, considering the length of time I've held here, further agreement!

[excellance] 09/1/2020 08:40

zinc stocks getting low, prices beginning to rise, noe would be a good time to announce good news!

[bookwormrobert] 03/1/2020 09:38

Colin Bird (CEO) does hold 10% of the stock, so, yes, it's reasonable to assume he is interested in a better share price!

[cmackay] 01/1/2020 22:18

As a substantial holder, I'm confident that Colin's interests are aligned with shareholders.

[tim000] 01/1/2020 19:59

Interesting perspective. I’m sure we all agree that any further share placings need to dilute as little as possible, and no doubt CB understands that very well. Interesting to see how this plays out.

[the bull] 01/1/2020 19:53

It wont lift the share price if they bundle up the news with a massive raise in shares in issue. Colin promised that not a lot of money would be needed to get this zinc over to kabwe and he should focus on that, see the revenues pile in and then raise on the back of that

[tim000] 01/1/2020 16:55

Announcing a JV (assuming that is indeed required) might be accompanied by the application for the mining permit. The award of the permit no doubt will come later, accompanied perhaps by the announcement of a mining contract with a third party. I agree though that major pieces of news may be bundled up, which would help lift the share price

[bookwormrobert] 01/1/2020 15:37

Here's my best guess for 2020...
From the outside it looks like we are waiting for several developments with regard to Star Zinc in Zambia - the receipt of the small scale mining licence, the appointment of a mining contractor, the formal signing of the pre-negotiated offtake agreement with Jubilee Metals, and the raising of enough finance to see this project through to production in Q2 2020.
I think what we will see is that these developments are all linked together, and that we are in fact waiting for one very big piece of news - that is, the announcement of an approximately 50/50 joint venture with a Zambian mining partner for Star Zinc. The Zambian JV partner (perhaps the very well-connected XTR partner KPZ International?) will be responsible for both the start-up finance required and the actual mining, whilst GLR will commit the Star Zinc resource. The mining licence will be issued in the name of the JV. Likewise, the offtake will be signed with Jubilee in the name of the JV.
So, all being well, there will be one monster transformative RNS sometime in the next couple of months, not a series of discrete developments. The price for this? Giving away around 50% of Star Zinc, but no further share dilution. I'd expect the share price to rocket on the announcement of such a deal - given GLR's current tiny mcap it should at least triple.
Galileo will also still hold all of Kash'itu for the future. And, of course, their share of Glenover.

[the bull] 31/12/2019 11:55

Yes Colin does need to get on and reward those he has brought in from all these investor roadshows. Some good news soon please

[excellance] 31/12/2019 09:29

2020 could be a good year for these little chaps if they pull their finger out.

[sleveen] 22/12/2019 14:02

bwr, but I've taken the placing into account in my analysis.

Have a look at current assets and current liabilities and the placing. Do some 'rithmatic and you get £100k current cash.

[tim000] 22/12/2019 08:14

Bezant Resources, another company of which CB is exec chairman, has a prospective JV with local company KPZ International for small-scale copper mining in Zambia. Maybe he has similar plans for a JV at Star Zinc? Edit: Xtract Resources, another CB company, also has a couple of JV projects in Zambia looking to acquire small-scale mining licences. I suspect signing off such a JV agreement is the main reason why an application has yet to be submitted.

[tim000] 22/12/2019 07:32

Thanks, that’s very interesting assuming it’s accurate (which it looks to be). That suggests CB is probably looking to farm out a majority of the project to hasten its completion, given a large-scale licence would take longer and be more costly to acquire - and of course there is the prospect of monetising the project within 6-9 months. CB holds nearly 11% of the equity so is incentivised for the company to reach profitability asap.

bookwormrobert,

Zambia : Mining 2020


Go to Chapter 4 : Foreign Ownership and Indigenous Ownership Requirements and Restrictions

Check under section 4.2 of chapter 4

[plat hunter] 21/12/2019 15:41

As I recall the 500k in October was quoted as being sufficient for the mining licence application and capex up until the Star zinc commencement.

My own interpretation of Colin comments on the placing is that more cash will be needed come March/April 2020 regardless of where GLR are with bringing Star Zinc online.

[cmackay] 21/12/2019 11:29

I know a Zambian accountant, I will run it by her but I suspect such a law would only be implemented if the Zambian government wished to cease mining in Zambia.

[bookwormrobert] 21/12/2019 10:27

Hi Sleveen!
No, you're wrong about the placing being "in" the half-yearly accounts. The accounts are made up to 30th September, and the 500K placing took place in mid-October. Also, as a double check, you can see that the placing's not included in the income statement.
So GLR's financial picture will be substantially rosier than you paint it - there should be ample funds to cover the period up to the grant of the Star Zinc licence and the conclusion of the offtake agreement with Jubilee. After those events have occurred, we all hope and expect the share price to be very different, of course. The current mcap here is crazy given the possible earnings from Star Zinc.
Who knows, maybe the mining licence for Glenover will be granted in the interim as well? It's clear enough that Omnia (aka Major Fertilizer Producer) are ready to take the product.
Hi RedRook!
I've just done some checking online, and I can't find any reference to a requirement for a 50.1% Zambian-owned shareholding for the grant of a small-scale mining licence to a company (see section 2.1 of licence regs, non-gemstone small scale mining licence with 10 year term). However, I can't absolutely rule out such a requirement, either - maybe it comes from a different law or body? Can you supply a reference to back up your claim?
If you're right, I can think of ways of handing such a requirement, but does it exist at all?

[sleveen] 21/12/2019 08:45

500k placing taken into account so 100k current assets v 200k G&A for current 6 months.

So placing of say £400k in Feb/March to get the accounts signed off by the Auditors
