MKR let me down badly in the September monthly competition.
The press release yesterday was greeted by a the market with all the joy of someone getting bubonic plague.
And they had good reason.
Back on the 16th April, The MKR comms people put out a press release saying that there would be an update on the MRE for Mt Boppy gold mine, but no time frame.
Then on May 5th, they announced the 8 mill cap raise, and said they expected the Reserve statement in the June Quarter.
No announcement of the updated MRE in the June Quarter.
In August with the release of the June Quarterly, they stated they expected to announce the updated MRE within 2 weeks.
Never happened.
on August 8th, with still no MRE they announced the Mt Boppy restart.
Capex was to be 11.6 mill , with an EBITDA of 19 mill.
They were targeting the First Gold production in the Fourth Quarter of 2024.
Yesterdays announcement pushed the first gold production out to the first quarter 2025.
The CApex had now blown out to 15.5 million
EBITDA had collapsed to 4.44 mill P.a.
AISC had blown out to 1116/oz.
The MRE is now targeted to October 2024.
And still no mention of when Wonawinta Silver mine will startup again.
It was the Silver mining that caused me to buy in the first place.
The market cap is now barely 25 million, and the outstanding debt is 29.9 million.
There is supposed to be a second tranche of the cap Raise at 6 cents back in August.
Will that private equity group renege on the tranche when the SP is now languishing at half the issue price?
I doubt this entity will last till the second qtr 2025.
MKR, a company run by Charlatans for Charlatans.
