Stratmin Global Resources (LON:STGR, 2.88p) - Speculative Buy

Yesterday, Stratmin Global Resources (Stratmin) informed that on 1st February 2016, Consolidated Resources agreed to provide an unsecured loan facility of up to A$200,000 to Graphmada Mauritius, the company’s 93.5% subsidiary. So far, £24,212 has been drawn down. The funds availed under the facility are free of interest rate. Consolidated Resources has expressed interest in about 11.10% of the issued share capital of Stratmin. David Premraj would represent Consolidated Resources on the board of Stratmin.

Our view:

The receipt of an unsecured loan facility from Consolidated Resources enables Stratmin to seamlessly continue expanding its operations in Loharano. This facility follows the company’s completion of its first funding tranche of £0.5m from ASX-listed Bass Metals. The funding provided by Bass Metals in the past few months led to improvements at Loharano operations. In addition, Stratmin has ordered a new power supply solution for the plant and a new diesel generator. The company also plans to seek further funding from Bass Metals this year. We look forward to more progressive developments from the Loharano operations during the year. Therefore, we maintain our Speculative Buy rating on the stock.
