If you take $93k ((8.1) from $252k (8.6) estimated cash available for future operating activities would be only a modest amount of $159k. CTO soon once again will be resorted to borrow externally if possible &/or raise equity - which I think would be difficult this time round because CTO cannot transparently demonstrate what the Management is doing to find external partners which would operate the mine. In the ASX report it outlines that CTO management favours to outsource the operation of the mine and that CTO is actively seeking such an external "partner", but falls short of discussing who they are, only because there are no advanced stages of discussions with these "potential partners". Unless, the directors of CTO can successfully utilise, high gold price, to entice appropriate external "partners" quickly, then unfortunately one can only sadly assume a grim outlook for CTO; these disappointing delaying tactics cannot be tolerated anymore.....I am calling on the directors of CTO to make a concerted and an extraordinary effort to find a suitable external "partner" so the gold can be mined by a suitable outsourced mine operator.
