equity issue
is a serious one, however it seems that a favourable outcome on the finacing issues within the next three weeks would be a significant removal to that overhang. thankfully we will not have to wait very long to get an answer. probably why sp has been contained given the announced biggie.

What if an equity issue was for Govt to buy in? The President did say, before the covid hit, that they wanted to come in. https://rapaport.com/news/botswana-proposes-lucara-investment/

Wouldn't like an equity issue at this level but if it was the government it would be less painful

Well at least the shares would never be sold into the mkt, but dividends would be diluted of course. But ff the share price rose to where it ought to be I wouldn't mind that. Is it significant that El Humunga was announced the day before results?

it's still dilution and where we are, that would be a pretty big pill to swallow. now if they started to take a position now via the open market, that might be the deal of the century.
