08/2/2024 09:22 | I found this by chance on the JLP LSE board. I don't think this interview with the CEO at the mining Indaba been posted here before: hxxps://youtu.be/qtP I also note that palladium and platinum prices have crossed over this morning in the $880s - palladium reverting to its long term historical norm of being cheaper than platinum. Anyway, good luck to all here. I hope I was wrong to sell and it works out for you! | ![]() tigerbythetail | |

07/2/2024 15:43 | A bit more for those who don't follow LSE:- Because THS own the majority of Karo Holdings (KH), it doesn't much matter what valuation they place on the shares. Suppose KH was valued at $325m pre fund raise. THS owns 70% so it's stake is worth £227.5m. THS injects £65m for another 5% so KH is now worth $390m. THS now owns 75% so it's stake is worth $292.5m (amazingly $65m more; the amount it injected). However let's suppose KH was only worth $125m pre fund raise. THS owns 70% so it's stake is worth £87.5m. THS injects £65m for 5% so KH is now worth $190m. THS now owns 75% so it's stake is worth $142.5m ($55m more; but only $10m less than it injected). | ![]() stemis | |

07/2/2024 10:07 | The subscription for shares is effectively part of the capital expenditure in Karo. If you don't understand my explanation then think of it this way. Suppose you owned 100% of a company with one share which had £1 in it. You decided to subscribe for another share for £1m. So you now still own 100% of the company but with £1,000,001 in it. The second share valued the company at £1m even though it had only £1 in it. Were you ripped off? Of course not, you own all the company!! | ![]() stemis | |
07/2/2024 09:56 | Hi Stemis! I don't see things in the way you do. Any road, you must see that spending large amounts of company money to buy shares in a risky and all-but-worthless enterprise (Karo), and then burying that fact from investors deep in the footnotes of the annual report, is alarming. How on earth can Tharisa justify putting a $1.4 bn valuation on a half-built mine in Zimbabwe which requires high platinum and palladium prices to even break even and which is smaller than Tharisa mine itself?!? Just compare the two valuations. It's insane. | ![]() tigerbythetail | |

07/2/2024 09:23 | Tiger, I've now had chance to look at the posts on LSE. Although what is said is strictly correct, I think they are getting confused by the accounting. The gist of the argument, if I'm not mistaken, is that THS have paid $65m for 5% of the shares in Karo Holdings, valuing Karo Holdings at an incredible $1.3bn. Whilst this is true, what they haven't taken account of is that THS didn't buy the shares off the minority holder (Leto settlement) but subscribed for new shares in Karo Holding. The result is that 75% of the $65m still effectively 'belongs' (in the sense of being part of their beneficial holding) to THS. Only 25% i.e. $16m of value has been provided to Leto to reduce their holding from 30% to 25% (so from their point of view, it's valued their holding in Karo Holdings at $320m). Indeed if THS do increase their holding to 80%, that $16m 'effectively' becomes $13m. Now one can argue that the $16m should be lower, but there may be strategic (or indeed contractual) reasons why they might have agreed that figure (I don't know). However, in the scheme of things, the difference really isn't that material. | ![]() stemis | |
07/2/2024 09:19 | Tiger, what is this other board you speak of?How do you mean the money is being siphoned off? | ![]() lennonsalive | |
07/2/2024 09:17 | Hi Sotolo! FWIW, I didn't sell because of the dire state of the PGM market. It will turn back up, sooner or later. As always with commodities, the cure for low prices is low prices. Nor did I sell because I expect the chrome market to crack imminently. I didn't even sell because the investment into Karo (predicated on a currently unrealistic PGM basket price) is a horrendous mistake - though it clearly is. I sold because money is being siphoned out of Tharisa, as per the posts on the other board. (Grateful thanks to Mike and Hxol for alerting me to this, which I had previously missed). Previously, I thought Tharisa was extraordinarily cheap. Even suspiciously so. And I couldn't understand why the BoD didn't simply dump Karo. Now (I think) I understand things a little better, and I don't hold out much hope for this company. I'd be interested to read a defence of their actions from Tharisa's directors, but unless I've wholly misunderstood the state of affairs, I won't be putting money into this company again. I'm sorry for once pointing out this company to you. AIM strikes again! IMO, AIM in particular, and perhaps the LSE as a whole, are becoming uninvestable. Stock markets simply don't function without rules and swift and severe punishment for those who bend them out of shape or break them. | ![]() tigerbythetail | |

06/2/2024 19:45 | Nicky Shiels Head of Metals Strategy at MKS - Platinum 50% of mining supply under water, loss making = reduction in supply which is going to exacerbate the already on going supply deficit. Low price of EGMs shows the West is already in a recession. Tharisa share price is down 42.5% from it's 1 year high and 63.7% down from its 3 year high I'm starting to think maybe it's a good time to make an initial small investment. | ![]() loganair | |
06/2/2024 19:30 | Tiger I was thinking the same, selling and and taking a loss this week as with PGM collapse and Karl financé at these high rates just to make a loss it looks a bit grim, but thought two things: First the key metric I watch is the Chromium price. It too is falling, but slowly, down 5% in last 4 months which translates to around 155 drop in our Chromium profit. However that still mops up an awful lot of PGM losses. We could walk away from Karo lose the investment and still be worth more than now. Better we can use chromium profits, as long as price holds up, to stay in business as other PGM miners are driven out reducing supply. Second, looking in the rear view mirror chromium should make this year pretty good so I thought I would anyway wait till the finals before deciding whether to sell as they could give us a fillip. I expect you are wiser than me but let's see.... | ![]() sotolo | |

06/2/2024 09:19 | A share price falls due to being in a disliked sector. When the share price reaches near its bottom because of this the small private retail investor sells due to fear. A share price rises due to being in the fashionable sector and when the share price is near its 52 week high, the small private retail investor piles in due to FOMO. At the moment the price of oil and PGM's are where they are shows the world is currently in recession therefore its the time when to start picking up stocks in these areas as in the next couple of years when the world comes out of recession the prices of these commodities will start to rise again. | ![]() loganair | |
