RE:RE:I want to hear plans with their Great Gobs of Cash

I agree they should keep debt at 100mill or so and tell the bank to GFY . Plan a NCIB for 5% every year for 3 years to take out the 15% shares dilued by warrants. Approx 30mill needed for NCIB every year . ITs cheaper to buyback the debt which is being paid at 9.75%

Mindset wrote: It would be a wonderful surprise if they planned to buyback shares next year, but my gut tells me their focus will be on paying down debt targeting 0.5xD/CF. Whatever FCF leftover will be carryfoward into 2023, or used to cover increased production targets or costs.

It would be great to get an update on Pad L6+L7, and maybe even L8, as well as production guidance overall.

I can also see them hedging 25-50% at current prices. Hopefully closer to 25%.

Time will tell.

Also Q3 comes out the following week.
