RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Gap to fill at CA$.115well, as for Q4 we will have some costs guidance next wednesday. The information I have is that total costs in Q3 were at around 1.10/1.11 so @firecracker74 s calculations were correct, counting in an operating loss plus a small net profit due to the pricing gain.
As for Q4 total costs should already be down to 1.02, thats "all inclusive", also including TC 300.
So of course no-one knows the zinc prices of November and December, but I do suppose that TV has already done some hedging to save the net profit for Q4 as they have to (and will) meet with credit covenants at year end.
With TC 200 in 2021, TV should have total costs of around 1 USD as I already mentioned with higher capex in 2021.
I also doubt that we ll get rid of the going concern wording in Q3 already, but there s a tiny possibility: If you look at the criteria for financial statements, "going concern" is the normal state of a company that is presumed and a going concern warning therefore will disappear once it can be presumed again that "for the foreseeable future" = normally 6 months, the company will continue as a going concern. So if one would suppose that Q3 was profitable, but with an operating loss and Q4 would e.g. already be mostly hedged, plus one would argue that it could be presumed that we d see treatment charges at 200 USD in 2021, that would mean, the gc warning could disappear now.
But of course stakes are higher that we ll once again see the warning and get rid of it only after Q4.... and you d be right then with your idea of rising prices in spring...
