RE:Dear*SILENCEDOGOOD* a.k a "The Dog" This is an extremely interesting discussion..
Question: Sherritt is losing money now so it will never make money in the near future..
To answer correctly to this question need a bit of analysis. With the announced lowest NDCC in HPAL, we can assume it will make tons of cash. Well, it is now too easy to trick that number when we can put the maintenance costs in Capex that is not be calculated in the NDCC. This is what all companies are now doing "to look good".
I assume the maintenance cost a lot of money this year..
We can probably however look back and see before Ambatovy where they were able to gather so much cash. That gives a lot of hope for Sherritt to be able to get out of the actual situation.
