Q4 and Refinery Update Summary

[Starkicker]

Outta cash and still no refinery opening date. Brutal.

I did not see "outta cash" in the update.  Can you copy/paste...?

Today's release seems to be a rehash of what was already known. They said more money needs to be raised. The lack of new good news is disappointing. No update on how difficult it wil be to fix the crystallizer, what would be involved and how long it would take. No update on process electronics procurement.

Greenstar1 you have summed it up nicely. Again I will say Trent doesn't know what he is doing.  They have no idea how deep a hole they are in.

Electra's cash balance at the end of Q4 2022 does not include the remaining $5.1 million of government investments expected to be received or the net

Hey Dave, it's not really "my" comment now, is it? What about the massive debt notes, dave?  And the convertible debt? And the refinanced debt?  And the debt they are working on securing for their, ahem future, cause there is no more equity financing for these fools? Maybe I was wrong...about their burn rate, dave.  Maybe I was less than thorough about the "
