My first point in my investment reference statement at the top of this thread: ✅️
"1. Funding is the Foundation
Funding is paramount. The $5 million Ratta option is promising, but Daws has wisely been presenting this project across Asia to institutions, ensuring alternative avenues are explored.

Funding sourced at a 3 to 4cent valuation would reduce dilution and reflect stronger investor confidence.
- Strategic partnerships or institutional backing will be key to securing favorable terms.
- I’ll be watching closely for clarity on funding sources, as this will directly impact the pace and scale of operations."

The recent capital raise announcement raises several intriguing points. If this were simply a case of Ratta exercising their option to purchase up to $5 million in stock, it would likely be categorized as a change in substantial holdings rather than a capital raise.

This suggests to me that external funding is involved.

The fact that Daws and Pereira departed for Indonesia early this morning strongly indicates that the funding may be denominated in Rupiah.

Additionally, Les accompanying Chris overseas implies more than just a routine roadshow, further supporting the idea that funding has been secured from Indonesia .

It would be unusual for Les to join Chris for a relatively small raise, say $1 million, which leads me to speculate that the funding could be more substantial.

Notably, the last two capital raises were conducted at a premium to the share price. If this trend continues, it would send a positive signal to investors.

For those questioning the timing of a capital raise which I find puzzling, Estrella’s share price is actually at a three-year high. A raise at 2.8 cents or above would be an excellent outcome, and if the price starts with a 3, it would be exceptional.

Friday will provide clarity, but if the raise is both significant and well-priced, it could mark a major positive development for the company!

First point ticked off!

I couldn't agree more. All those knocking a capital raise have very little idea how growing a company works.

It takes money to identify potential, test that potential, delineate an orebody, etc etc ad finitum.

News flash.....we don't have enough money as it stands.

Action plan....get some more money.

Let's find out how much and at what price before the bed wetting starts.
