    Apologises to Jantimot if you think we have already covered this. Add the capital commitment for the process plant at the end of December together and you have $US144.3 million with $US95.2 million paid via cash and shares owing a balance of $US49.1 million. Cash at the end of this period was $AUD73,422,645.

    Then on the 19th of March two agreements were entered into, one for cash $AUD17.25 million via shares (issued) and one for payment due and payable under the procurement agreement for $AUD22 million via shares (unissued)

    Thirdly we have the contracts for a additional power station and construction of the plant to finalisation stage which Sinosteel have entered into 3rd party contracts for construction of the plant, so they are liable for these payments and we pay Sino. Price unkown.

    So without breaking down expenditure using the quarterlies. The company has added another $17.25 million cash to the kitty for $90.67 million and have paid down the debt from December 2012 another $22 million leaving approximate debt of $27.1 million (to lazy to break down exchange rates) before the contracts of an unknown price announced on the 11th of June.

    $90 million of cash for the last 9 months verses debt of $27 million (Sino), power plant and turn key contracts $$$ unknown (Sino), outgoings for development, admin, exploration, construction of dams etc..

    It look to me to be covered to completion except rail and port. And if the cash isn't enough for the completion of the plant we will owe Sinosteel and it seems they must feel comfortable with that as they know there is no guarantee FIRB will approve another placement. So we have a plant, mine and other assets worth north of $300 million with the possibility of a small amount owing to Sino that's capable of of producing over $350 million worth of revenue per year. I see no reason why the banks wouldn't loan the rest with little risk remaining for the rail and port or perhaps Sinosteel because those shares and off take agreements are worthless without it.
