Lets recap
Cash burn prolly 13 mil/ month. Revenue bout 1.5 mill per month... solid. Thats only a net burn of a wee bit over 11 mill per month. Not bad. So if they do another 10 2 1 rollback then a 150 mill pp all will b well. The fish was right go figure. 4 sure. Nuton tech res

Well, they are certainly not Flush with cash. The revenues are still minimal and their monthly costs are substantial. They drew down their accordian financing with Pala in April. To avoid raising capital they would have to suddenly get successful in production when it has not gone well so far. My guess is they will raise more capital and so see some marginal dilution.

So why do you think they will not do what they said and foreward sell some copper wc. Sure, they would have to discount by 10%. But that would only b shirt term. With starting exploration drills on tedyboy and feasibility on op, they do mot seam to worried about cash. nf

Hi West, let me refer to the NCU statements regarding OEE ( Overall Equipment Effectiveness). Their is significant progress regarding production plant availability in April: they achieved 20 days, whereas total Q1 was at 36 days. Furthermore, they are undertaking preventive maintenance measures now to reduce unforseen equipment failure UG. I think that Randy is progressing very nicely.... T.

probably ??? ... see R mathews paste Plant Q3 @ target of 4500 tpd Underground Mine Ramp Up Continues: Underground production continues to ramp up with hoisting rates of a combination of stope ore and development material expected to increase to approximately 3,000 tons per day ("tpd") in Q2 2022 and then further increasing to 4,000 to 4,500 tpd during Q3 2022.

1/3 of china shut down and copper didnt break $4. supply constraints gonna keep oil, copper, food high. and any social disruption in certsin countries could cause a break out. gold is the shaft metal.

you need to remember, q1 saw a destroyed loader from a collapsed wall, down days, and a non delivery penalty. That could happen again of course, but assuming it doesnt, i would not use q1 as any sort of baseline for q2 cashburn.

In addition to RK's post: I would rather look on the improvements they achieved as regards productivity increase in april - that was a good job. Seems to me that some of the posters hate the idea, that Pala could be successfull... T.

Personally, I am very eager to see NCU succeed. Believe me, I am highly invested in this company in many ways.

i think they paid - reduxed 10.8M$ bak 2 Payla.. actual burn on theat 15M was around 3.5 which should B ballpark cash flow... the metrik squeeze is 1500 foot acces points for the stopes and steel encasements.. re-wok them numbrs - see where the actual cash if flowing v/s ore loading...

Dont underestimate the role of KfW. It is highly likely, that they will play a mayor role to finance the OP, if Pala is able to finance 30% (my guessing) e. g. from UG cash- flow... Remember: Germany needs copper... T.
