seemed odd to me that they released the resource update- almost all of the work was done a really long time ago ( drilling) and the last bit was done in 2021 to come up with just inferred resource
why wouldn’t they have done that in 2021 and added it to the resource table which they have been promoting as a “ monster” since 2020
sure now they have legal challenges and probably seeking to sure up a valuation or perhaps to get the term sheet up and converted
but
got to make you wonder why it takes Avz 2 years to calculate an just inferred resource which it heralding now instead of shortly after the final drilling was done way back in 2021
again spending 36.426 million last year on exploration knowing all these court cases were ongoing was a massive mistake imo and clearly foreseeable they could run out of capital
Avz is out there still trying to arrange funding for 20 m usd- that expenditure last fin year is approx the same amount it now says it needs to see the legal cases through- I think it was clearly foreseeable and the existing resource and reserve was already promoted by them as “ monster”
existing shareholders will be diluted ( no details out yet from this finance subject to due diligence ) but new holders ( in whatever form)will benefit one would assume from the calculation of the results after existing shareholders saw a deployment of approx 36.5 m on paper but nothing converted to paper well after the drilling campaign earlier this year was finished
Really poor use of capital by board imo considering the outlook of legals and more actions being brought against the company and the fact the company was formally suspended from the asx trading platform - who cares if monster resource and reserve got bigger with a backdrop of a cancelled mining decree and legal actions everywhere-
the company needed all available funds to pursue its legal strategy , and it’s already now told SH it needs another 20 m usd to see it through —- but no updated dfs or r and r after spending all that capital on exploration during last financial year-
