$15M available for one more stream Reading the most recent quarterly report we have $37M cash on hand; and we have a $15M payment due for our Pd stream and another $7M coming due to Thunderbird in May. This leaves about $15M for one more stream unless they work out a financing deal with Sandstorm Gold. However Sandstorm Gold's shareholders may not want to sink money into M&E and NW may have a conflict of interest if he tried to do so. It isn't at all clear that SAND Au capital will be available to M&E.
So I think we are down to $15M to do one more deal and then we're out of cash until our remaining viable projects start to produce.
I think the three early failures (Terrex, Royal Coal, and Novadex) are really going to inhibit our ability to grow as I don't see where new capital is going to come from.
Our projected cash flow for 2013 is only $2M and for 2014 it is only $12M so we may not be able to do another deal for two more years after we spend the $15M remaining in the corporate treasury.
That puts a LOT of pressure on making sure the next deal is a very good deal. It will be our last for a long time!
We have already done multiple equity offerings and we have more than 300 million shares outstanding. That is a lot of dilution already!
I'm not selling but I'm not buying more until it is clear that we've made a solid deal with the last of our capital.
