Mc Mining Share Discussion Threads

[dave4545] 09/11/2020 09:58

Check online limits here.

Just 15k left at 8.8p, best it's been since I bought in. Massive overhang cleared.

And they are bidding above mid price for stock. So it should be testing double figures any time.

[2bozmo] 03/11/2020 09:42

Back to steady state production, coal prices ticking up. If you think we fell from 40p to 10p on lockdown/covid. Yes we need to sort funding but think that gets done

[casual47] 03/11/2020 09:36

Still tiny volumes though. More opportunistic bottom feeders than sophisticated investors?

The news is certainly not encouraging.

[2bozmo] 03/11/2020 09:09

Something going on in JSE, last print 300 which equivalent of over 14p. Here's hoping this is the time....been here long enough

MC Mining Limited

21 July 2020
ANNOUNCEMENT 21 July 2020

CONDITION SATISFIED FOR THE DRAW DOWN OF THE IDC LOAN

Further to the announcement published on 6 July 2020, MC Mining Limited ("MC Mining" or the "Company") is pleased to confirm the satisfaction of the condition in the restructured loan agreement (the "Agreement") with the Industrial Development Corporation of South Africa Limited ("IDC"). This condition required the Company to secure commitments for the issue of new equity ("New Equity"), for a collective R15.0 million ($0.9 million*). In terms of the Agreement, the Company will now draw down R40 million ($2.4 million). These funds will be used to advance the Makhado hard coking coal project ("Makhado Project" or "Makhado") and for general working capital.

The New Equity will be issued at an agreed price of 105.56 SA cents/ 6.27 pence (United Kingdom), a 9% discount to MC Mining's closing share price on Friday 17 July 2020. This will result in the issue of approximately 14.2 million new ordinary shares in the Company. The IDC will receive an estimated 1.1 million warrants, equating to 0.8% of MC Mining's issued shares, and its direct participation in the Makhado Project will increase from 5% to 6.7%. The New Equity will be issued following South African Reserve Bank approval, necessary for certain tranches of the new MC Mining shares. Reserve Bank approval is an administrative step and the approval is anticipated in early August 2020 and a further announcement confirming the exact number of shares and warrants and date of admission to trading on the ASX, AIM and the JSE will be made at that point.

The Company previously secured a R245 million ($14.4 million) loan facility from the IDC. This is the initial step in the R535 million ($31.5 million) composite debt/equity funding package to develop Phase 1 of Makhado. MC Mining is in advanced discussions for the balance of the funding required and construction is anticipated to commence in Q4 CY2020/Q1 CY2021. Phase 1 has a nine-year life-of-mine and is forecast to produce 540,000 tonnes ("t") of hard coking coal annually as well as 570,000t of an export quality thermal coal by-product.

Br enda Berlin, MC Mining's Acting CEO, commented: "The issue of the New Equity to existing and new shareholders underlines the robust fundamentals and compelling returns of the Makhado Project. This is a further significant step for MC Mining and we will now focus on securing the balance of the Phase 1 funding, delayed by the COVID-19 lockdown. The Company will also continue negotiations to defer the November 2020 repayment of existing debt owing to the IDC until the Makhado Project is generating positive cash flows. "

In what form do you expect the phase 1 funding to come if not a placing?

[2bozmo] 09/7/2020 20:40

well in the RNS said there was a small equity raise.

bought some today at 6.125 (reported as a sell)

Uitkomst was due to be back at full production by the end of June.
Arcelor Mittal have started up again and are calling for coal so demand for product
IDC just a bridging loan so they have time to finalise the Phase 1 funding package. We know PIC would be slow

looking at Europe, power, carbon and coal prices have also increased recently.

crazy valuation given the sum of the parts but crazy times.

good luck all, DYOR.

[bengal1] 08/7/2020 16:05

Nearly 1m traded on JSE today. Mostly sells. Someone departing.

[boodgewoodge] 26/5/2020 20:03

The only reason for the glint in Mr Brown's eye at all those presentations was because he confidently knew he was going to jump ship !

ANNOUNCEMENT

5 May 2020

RECOMMENCEMENT OF COAL PRODUCTION AND LOCKDOWN UPDATE

Further to the announcements on 26 March 2020 and 24 April 2020, MC Mining Limited ("MC Mining" or the "Company") provides a market update with regards to the impact on the Company of the global COVID-19 pandemic. MC Mining remains focused on taking the necessary precautions to prevent the spread COVID-19 and reducing the threat to our employees, contractors and stakeholders.

Operations at the Uitkomst Colliery

The South African Government issued a directive on 23 March 2020 (the "Directive") requiring a 21-day national lockdown (the "Lockdown"), effective midnight Thursday 26 March 2020 to midnight Thursday 16 April 2020. The Directive was as a result of a level 5 national coronavirus alert assessment and resulted in the high-grade Uitkomst metallurgical and thermal coal mine ("Uitkomst Colliery" or "Uitkomst") being placed on care and maintenance. The Lockdown was subsequently extended and on 23 April 2020 the Government announced a phased, risk-based approach to lifting restrictions and the alert level reduced to level 4 from 1 May 2020 (the Government address can be found at: hxxps://www.gov.za/speeches/president-cyril-ramaphosa-south-africas-response-coronavirus-covid-19-pandemic-23-apr-2020 ).

Level 4 of the Lockdown authorises some business activity, subject to extreme precautions and under specific conditions. The underground Uitkomst Colliery is permitted to ramp up to 50% of labour capacity and must adhere to detailed health and safety protocols and introduce workplace plans to enable disease surveillance at site and prevent the spread of infection.

The Department of Mineral Resources and Energy has also issued COVID-19 directives. These require mining companies to ensure screening of employees and where indicated, testing, and employees who have tested positive for the virus will need to be quarantined. All data collected during the screening and testing programme is to be submitted to the authorities.

The Uitkomst Colliery has implemented standard operating procedures that comply with the required measures and limited activities at the mine recommenced on 4 May 2020. Uitkomst is a mechanised underground operation and it will be possible to ramp-up to 50% capacity within 7 to 10 days. During this period the colliery will assess the effects that the Lockdown has had on critical suppliers while the coal off-take market remains challenging due to the restrictions imposed on businesses. Uitkomst is in constant communication with its customers to ensure their requirements are met and the colliery is only expected to return to full operating capacity following further reductions in the national coronavirus alert assessments and once coal off-takes have normalised.

Effects of the Lockdown on MC Mining's other sites

The Lockdown also impacted activities at the Makhado, Vele and Greater Soutpansberg Projects as well as the Company's corporate office and led to the implementation of business continuity measures as well as stringent health and safety procedures. This also resulted in the Company having to implement a 'no work, no pay' policy for non-essential staff and a portion of wages were paid by the Government's Temporary Employee/Employer Relief Scheme, reducing the adverse financial impacts that the Lockdown is having on staff. The Company has also adopted a work-from-home strategy and where possible, staff will continue to work remotely.

Available cash & facilities

T he Company has an available cash balance of US$1.1 million as well as the US$6.5 million (R120 million) second tranche of the existing Industrial Development Corporation of South Africa Limited loan available for drawdown. MC Mining is engaged in discussions with its lender group regarding drawdown from existing and potential new finance facilities . As previously communicated, the Company is also in the process of securing the balance of the funding required to commence construction of Phase 1 of the fully permitted Makhado hard coking coal project and this is expected to be completed in Q2/Q3 CY2020.

Br enda Berlin, the Company's CEO, commented: "The move to Lockdown level 4 facilitates Uitkomst resuming production of its high-grade coal, albeit at 50% of normal production. Safety of our people is critical and normalised operating activities at the Uitkomst Colliery and MC Mining's other sites will only resume when it is safe to do so and in line with Government regulations. Where possible, key activities for rest of the Group will continue remotely in isolated, safe environments and we remain very mindful of the economic toll that the pandemic has on our employees and their families.

The Company continues to interact with potential domestic and international capital-providers to secure the balance of funding required to commence development of Makhado Phase 1 and anticipates that the process will be completed in Q2/Q3 CY2020 ."

They must have done a good job as don't forget - they awarded themselves "performance bonus shares" (cough, cough, splutter, splutter)

By the way, my £30,000 investment here is -----

[cgee1] 28/2/2020 08:23

These guys really have done a great job of promoting shareholder value..... My holding which was worth about £4000 is worth just a few hundred..... Thanks for that!

[2bozmo] 23/2/2020 11:37

No idea. Met up with Brenda Berlin a couple of weeks ago, have some offers on table but waiting on PIC, who are considered the best option. I know others who have spoken with company this week and are very bullish on getting this done. Shocked we're down here to be honest but what do I know....

[bengal1] 21/2/2020 19:12

Why the drop?!!

[casual47] 31/1/2020 09:56

If he was pushed then it might be good. Perhaps the potential lenders saw him as a problem.

[ianio5691] 31/1/2020 09:53

RNS...!!!

David Brown stepping down as CEO with immediate effect!

That's not good..... :-(

Mind you, masterminded the complete collapse of the shareprice during his tenure - so perhaps a good thing!

Word seems to be company to issue more debt rather than issue equity at these levels. Good thing as company cash generative very quickly. Interesting times ahead
