EVCC 20% sale
EVCC 20% saleThis coal sale is fine, but does ~1.5 BLN really put a dent in the 12 BLN they still owe? It translates in to a net loss of (5.6 BLN - 1.5 BLN) = 4.1 BLN, on the 20 % of coal patch sold, as 14 bln for 50% = 2.8 BLN for each 10th of EVCC. Worse yet, another way of looking at that would be that they paid (14 - 1.5) = 12.5 BLN for the 30% left that they acquired.
Right now the coal patch accounts for just over half the value of the company by my calcs. I would rather see the copper and zinc assests flogged at this time if they are giong to get rid of anything.
