Success will NOT come
You haven't educated anyone on anything, your lack of understanding on the topic of ARL is alarming.
Capital raises are a feature of junior mining companies the world around
Furthermore Ardea will need capital in a projected 2.77 quarters, they have $10.6 million dollars at last count, there is considerable time between now and then.
Essential spend only is in my reference, to continue the Japanese MOU negotiations and keep the company developing the Goongarrie resources.
These are the most important tasks the Ardea board are dealing with, They should continue this. In my opinion.
Secondary and of lesser importance are the other developing projects Ardea is dealing with, The $10.6 million dollars Ardea have will likely be reserved mostly for Essential spend on Goongarrie at this most advantageous time negotiating with the Japanese Consortium.
Secondary importance projects would be exploration of the compelling exploration targets like Nickel Sulphide, Rare Earths, GOLD and the multitude of other minerals within the Ardea portfolio. Those will be there tomorrow and the day after.
Prudent professional cash management is the difference between Ardea and your pet money hole in North QLD
The difference between competent Ardea management and your very shaky incompetent management in the North Queensland peer is simply illustrated with these tables below.
Just to be clear, I do this research work for my due diligence purposes, I share this with Ardea shareholders and people looking for information, don't flatter yourself thinking this is for you, its not. Thank you for the opportunity to bring it out though,
The very obvious illustration shown in the tables below is that Ardea Resources gets more done with less raised capital,
The very obvious illustration is that Ardea has lower comparative Staff and Administration costs by HALF+- the cost of QLD peer.
The very obvious illustration is that Ardea higher productivity using the funds for Exploration and development Double+- that of QLD peer

Furthermore, these are the distilled Quarterly 5B reports illustrating similar patterns of behaviour.
Note: That Ardea comparatively spends about half that of the QLD peer on Administration and staff, a very good prudent outcome for Ardea.
This shows that Ardea management are prudent with unnecessary spending, looking after and using shareholder funds sparingly.

This shows that the company is focussed on value creation.
