RE: Petition to the Court. You ask a great question crudestope. The petition notes that they have two full time staff to deal with shareholder questions. The reason there are so many questions is that they do not publicly reveal plans. Why not lay out a five year development plan with production targets for Selinsing? How difficult is that to do? That would likely reduce the number of questions.
How much funding does Selinsing require? I doubt is any where near what net income is. If tha tis true they should say it, other wise it implies further equity raises. If Selinsing production is stable they should iseriously consider issuing some debt. Could they do 6% convertible debt that converts at $0.80 to a $1.00 per share? It seems better than issuing shares at $0.45.
This is also the first public comment on what development of Mengapur will cost that I know of ("first phase likely being well in excess of $100 million"). We still don't know how many phases there will be and if profits from each phase will finance the subsequent phase or not.
We do know that the PP has still not closed and that once it does they need at least $77 million more (item 17). Monument is pursuing financing from other sources (the Initiatives) in North America, Europe and Asia (item 18). On of the Initiatives will require shareholder approval. Unfortunately we are not given further details. Is it a large PP with someone else (which we know requires shareholder approval)? Is it a public offering in North America, europe or Asia (which I am unclear as to why it would require shareholder approval)? Does anyone have further knowledge on this part?
I still think that they bit over more than they can chew with Mengapur.
