Cash Position
Please correct me if I am wrong, but didn't CCU have to pay CGT 2 million bucks plus a couple hundred grand in interest to get out of the agreement between the two companies. They originally did the deal between CCU (Empire Mining at the time) so CCU would keep control of the property. The Columbus group of companies are very well run and should come through this mining downturn in good shape. Back in March or April CCU received 1.5 million in cash from First Quantum and the very next day had to give it to CGT to break the agreement but still retain control over the Turkish properties.
But you say they received 1.5 million in June so was this a second payment. I thought they were only to receive one payment of 1.5 million in cash (which they did in March I believe) from First Quantum to go along with the 15 million shares they bought at 10 cents for 1.5 million as part of the orginal deal in Turkey. That gave them 3 million but they paid 2 million and change to CGT hence the reason I said they had less than 1 million left.
Anyways, I still think they have less than one million in the kitty but if they do have more than that is great. It doesn't matter to me because these guys got enough connections in the mining world to keep the show going and the big boys want to earn in on their properties because CCU is the real deal and have great properties. But like all mining stocks the risk is huge so invest accordingly. GLTA!!!
