Re: ORD - Ord River Resources
Announcement out yesterday - they got their minimum $3 mill requirement to keep going with 24 mill shares placed. I wonder how many of these are held by Commsec - I would suggest maybe the whole lot as the sp sank to around 7-8c after the cap raising was announced. I couldn't imagine too many takers at 12.5c
Their funding dilemma is very real. They have a brilliant project on the Bolaven plateau with a Chinese JV partner that want's to keep it moving quickly. There is no option to go in to hibernation to conserve funds. If they cannot fund their share of the exploration I suspect we will see them diluted away in the project. The results were coming quickly but the cash was going out pretty fast too - $3 mill will not last too long but may be enough to prove up the resource sufficient for an alumina refinery and then we might see some interest return...?
all quiet on the ORD front right now,the company is offering up to 120 000 000
new shares @ .125 cents per share to raise $15million for explorations and development of the company,but the SP has been hovering around the 7-8 cent
mark so whos going to be taking up the offer?
ORD owns a 49% of joint venture company SARCO which has invested in two
exploration areas (A 436KM2 tenement and a 66km² block within a 138km² tenement)in Laos.
The project has one of the highest quality gibbsite dominated bauxites in the world with high alumina to silica ratio,and a total initial identified JORC compliant indicated resource of 93.7 million tonnes of bauxite.
further,the company believes the Bolaven Plateau has the potential to contain in excess of 2 billion tonnes of bauxite.
this may all sound promising but unless they raise needed funds will this small
cap explorer fall by the wayside?
this issue of shares will be partially underwritten to $3million by Commsec.
