1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,800
Righto muddy bonus big news for 
today is Ally GC is back. 

2
00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:07,040
That is, don't worry about 
Greatland, don't worry about 

3
00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:09,800
gold. 
Ally GC is in the house well 

4
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:13,400
back for. 2025's good to be back
in the hot seat, Maddy. 

5
00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:14,920
Very good, right? 
What do we got? 

6
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:18,040
We've got the Greatland month 
update. 

7
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:20,600
We do. 
We got GCU. 

8
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:24,440
We've got a bit of Regis and 
just sort of general Goldie 

9
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:27,520
producer machinations as. 
Well, yeah, a bit of Westguild, 

10
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:30,720
Westguild snake and the 
quarterly call in at 115 

11
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:36,520
specifically, they must have 
knew we had a meeting on because

12
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:38,440
it's midnight in Canada. 
It doesn't make sense. 

13
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:42,560
I'm going. 
To talk about a bit of uranium 

14
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:44,920
for you too, Maddie, are. 
You Lotus. 

15
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:46,800
Oh yeah, beauty. 
And then we're and we're 

16
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:48,240
chatting uranium after this 
with. 

17
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:49,720
The we are, we've got a, we've 
got a big one. 

18
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:52,520
Yeah, we do. 
So let's RIP in great land. 

19
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:59,840
Right, right. 
This I did go greatly go Stewie 

20
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:02,280
Heinz. 
Go Stewie, Heinz, search Stewie,

21
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,680
search Stewie. 
Yeah, mate, I think you've got 

22
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:07,840
to start like thinking of 
Greatland Gold as a, as a 

23
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:11,000
producer now, which is, yeah, 
bit of a mental shift we've got 

24
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,600
to make because we've always 
just thought of as a developer. 

25
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,240
But they've of course, they've 
picked up the the great deal of 

26
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:20,120
Newmont with Telfer and the rest
of of Havron late last year. 

27
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:24,360
That actually completed as of 
the 4th of December, which which

28
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:29,640
meant that they had 27 days of 
the quarter which in which they 

29
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:33,040
were, you know, the the the 
rightful owner of the assets 

30
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:35,640
producing gold. 
And you know, so we can actually

31
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:37,680
take a look at what what's been 
happening at 27 days. 

32
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,320
They've reported production 
numbers of on the likes the 

33
00:01:40,320 --> 00:01:43,000
market, importantly, really like
what they saw. 

34
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:47,400
Stock went up 21% on the on the 
AIM where it's where it's listed

35
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,840
overnight and and you know 
basically just they're just 

36
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:53,480
pretty stoked about those the 27
days performance. 

37
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:59,840
But in those 27 days they 
produce an encouraging 29.9000 

38
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:02,600
ounces of gold and 1.2000 tons 
of copper. 

39
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,360
You do the math on just like the
revenue there at spot prices, 

40
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,080
that's like, you know, Aussie 
dollars about 150 million bucks 

41
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,840
of of value kind of coming out 
of the out of the plant, which 

42
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:14,040
is not bad for for 29 days of of
operation. 

43
00:02:14,640 --> 00:02:18,760
What drove that that performance
from day one of ownership? 

44
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,600
They, you know, they turned on 
processing from the second train

45
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:23,120
that that resumed pretty 
quickly. 

46
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:27,560
But and if you take the small 
bit of data that that that 

47
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:32,000
they've provided us here, 
they're producing 33% more than 

48
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:33,920
the right in their initial 15 
month mine plan. 

49
00:02:33,920 --> 00:02:36,280
Maybe they acquired it. 
They had its initial telephone 

50
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:39,240
15 month mine plan, but you 
know, they're kind of quick to 

51
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:43,040
cool the punters heads that the 
mill grade from this in a brief 

52
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,960
little period was higher than 
the the mine plan average that I

53
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:47,760
get too carried away just yet. 
They might have just had, you 

54
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,520
know, slightly higher grade. 
This resulted in the the the 

55
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:52,400
outsized performance in in this 
month. 

56
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:56,160
Just people will be excited 
about all those sort of 

57
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,320
stockpiles that were already 
there as well, Trev, cause and 

58
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:02,440
they've sort of picked up a fair
bit more from there or. 

59
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:06,160
Actually got 20 percent, 20% 
more on the stockpiles than they

60
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:07,960
expected to. 
There is a bit of an adjustment 

61
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:09,360
payment they're going to make to
Newmont. 

62
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,080
It's about 24,000,000 bucks, but
like you picked up a lot more of

63
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,800
the stock, got prices going up. 
Like that's a handy kick. 

64
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:16,800
Those stockpiles are enormous. 
And you can kind of see the, the

65
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:20,080
grade reconciliation between 
what they they mined in the 

66
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:24,280
month there was .77 and their 
stockpiles are are predominantly

67
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:26,920
lower grade, but they've got 
there's like 10 or nearly 

68
00:03:26,920 --> 00:03:31,440
11,000,000 tons of of, of higher
grade stockpiles there at .71g 

69
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,600
per ton gold, which is yeah, 
like super healthy, super handy 

70
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:36,880
thing to have when you think 
there's like 20 million tons per

71
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,120
annum processing price. 
That's like six months of of 

72
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:43,200
feed on the ROM that's high 
grade, which is, yeah, a huge, 

73
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:48,280
huge win. 
They mined, they what they put 

74
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,680
through was .77. 
What they mined. 

75
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,120
If you did a weighted average 
pin open pit and underground is 

76
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,480
about point 72.71. 
Yeah, yeah. 

77
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,360
Like a number. 
The stockpiles are the theme at 

78
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,600
the moment. 
These guys got what, 35,000,000 

79
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,560
tonne of them, you know, right? 
We'll talk about Regis later. 

80
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,960
They got bloody. 
Everyone's making money out of 

81
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,480
low grade stockpiles at the 
moment. 

82
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:14,080
Yes, we can talk about .71 as 
high grade stockpile, but that's

83
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,440
scale for 1.33. 
Yeah, you. 

84
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:18,480
Make money out of that these 
days so they. 

85
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:20,560
Haven't they haven't actually 
reported costs yet. 

86
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:22,880
There's a bit of water under the
bridge there, but the balance 

87
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:27,480
sheet's healthy 145 million in 
Aussie dollars cash at 31 

88
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:28,920
December. 
No get drawn. 

89
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,720
They've got some facilities they
can they can utilize if they if 

90
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,520
they want to or need to. 
And you might be, you might be 

91
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:38,240
wondering where great Linda are 
going to get their my life 

92
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,800
extensions from post their 
initial 15 month mine plan. 

93
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:43,440
Maddie, you've worked at 
Telford. 

94
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:45,920
Do you, do you remember W Dome 
open pit? 

95
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:49,400
Well, they're talking about 
stage seven and stage 8 cutbacks

96
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:51,200
there. 
They're they're the that's the 

97
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:54,120
that's what they're prioritizing
for FID this financial year. 

98
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,560
Of course, they've got no 
further cut back down at main 

99
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:58,840
Dome that they are looking at as
an extension. 

100
00:04:58,840 --> 00:05:01,600
And then you've got the, the, 
the two sort of underground 

101
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,160
areas that they're, they're also
pretty excited about. 

102
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:08,640
Yeah, I think the because you 
got main Dome W Dome and I'm 

103
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,120
pretty sure you you drive We 
used to drive through the Oh, 

104
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:13,600
shouldn't they still do? 
You drive through the middle of 

105
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:17,360
them to get to the underground. 
You go in the pit and God, there

106
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,160
was talks that they could just 
RIP the whole thing out and join

107
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:23,720
it all up one day. 
So because there's fricking gold

108
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,560
everywhere in a joint that's 
being mined in gold for bloody 

109
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,160
ages. 
So yeah, I'm sure there's plenty

110
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:33,360
of fricking options so. 
Yeah, bit of bit of capital over

111
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:37,480
time, but you expect that and 
but yeah, the positive thing is 

112
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:39,320
a healthy gold endowment. 
I just want to play this 

113
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:43,680
question which Ben Lyons from 
Jardin asked in relation to to 

114
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,280
have run on the call. 
I'm moving on to this 

115
00:05:46,280 --> 00:05:49,800
feasibility study then I guess 
it's a a related question. 

116
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:52,960
You know, obviously you're 
dealing with a massive 130 

117
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,800
million tonne ore body here that
previously we've only been 

118
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,520
talking about a mining imagery 
of about 50 million tons. 

119
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,400
You know, coming up the single 
3.8 million tonne decline. 

120
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,600
There's only a very brief 
comment about the feasibility 

121
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,480
study in your release overnight,
but I think it's an important 

122
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:11,080
one about that you've concerned 
the scope and the inputs. 

123
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:13,400
So can you elaborate on that 
please? 

124
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:16,840
You know, are we expecting a 
couple of different potential 

125
00:06:16,840 --> 00:06:20,680
outcomes in the feasibility 
study, one being the 2.8 and 

126
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:24,840
another one maybe being a larger
scale conceptual operation? 

127
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,080
Thanks. 
Yeah, Yeah, Ben, look that's 

128
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,520
perceptive of you. 
You know we, we are going to 

129
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:33,960
look at different scenarios 
there with the, you know new 

130
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:37,720
Crest had settled on the 2.8 
million ton or I think they 

131
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:41,040
actually had a three million ton
to good order up a single 

132
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:42,560
decline. 
We were more comfortable with 

133
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,040
2.8 million tons up a single 
decline. 

134
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,680
But having said that, we're also
going to kind of contemplate 

135
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:52,800
second day clients and what else
can be done because this is a 

136
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:56,480
big ore body. 
As you said, it's already 130 

137
00:06:56,480 --> 00:07:01,480
million tons, big mining Stokes 
average Stoke size 100 to 

138
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:05,160
125,000 tons. 
Yeah, potentially this wants to 

139
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:08,560
be mined quicker than that. 
And can you solve that with your

140
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,560
haulage system? 
So we'll be looking at all, all 

141
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:16,120
elements through there and we 
like to think particularly given

142
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,840
the back end infrastructure is 
in place, there's some good 

143
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:21,240
opportunity. 
That is interesting. 

144
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:23,800
It is right? 
Especially considering what 

145
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,240
they, I think it's the bloody 
most expensive decline in 

146
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,120
history, the one they've got 
there at the moment, what they 

147
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:33,160
had to do to get through the the
cover and then and then the 

148
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:39,000
aquifer, the multi levels of it.
But it would make a lot of 

149
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,640
bloody sense. 
Get a second one in and put a 

150
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,040
conveyor system to the surface. 
Yeah. 

151
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:48,520
That'd be like, yeah, I think if
you're going to put a second 

152
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:54,040
decline in and yeah, you could 
do it with trucks like like long

153
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:55,840
term theory. 
Or if they're going to do it, 

154
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,840
fucking Chuck a bloody because 
it's a big long straight, 

155
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:00,880
because combines have to be 
straight. 

156
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,040
Then you just wedge them and 
step them down. 

157
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,600
But yeah, that would make sense 
chucking something like that in.

158
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:08,640
I snipped it out. 
Yeah, I snipped it out. 

159
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:10,800
But there was, I think there was
a comment about the whole system

160
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:15,680
being able to, you know, yeah, 
to work with it with an upgraded

161
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:17,320
thing too. 
So yeah, whether that's a 

162
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,000
conveyor or or or haulage TVA, 
but. 

163
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:23,520
And a huge game changer up there
to take like, you know, 

164
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:27,680
3,000,000 tonne out of declines 
is that's a lot of trucks and a 

165
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:31,480
lot of heat and you're in the 
fucking hottest lights in 

166
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:34,799
Australia. 
Trust me, one of the hottest 

167
00:08:34,799 --> 00:08:38,200
minds you'd work at just because
of the pure, the ambient surface

168
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:41,400
temperature. 
So if you can remove diesel, 

169
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:45,440
that much diesel from it and 
there'll be some happy miners on

170
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:46,840
there. 
Totally. 

171
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:50,960
I could imagine yeah and just 
the fact that I've got like that

172
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,760
20 million tons processing 
capacity if you get an extra 

173
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:58,800
like 2.8 out of Havron, assume 
it's the same or might be not 

174
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,880
sure, but like that just that's 
a it's a meaningful difference 

175
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:06,000
the ability to keep 2 trains 
running for for the base case at

176
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:09,920
tougher on. 
But it's, I don't think they're 

177
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:12,640
going to get like, like 
everyone's be like, you know, 3 

178
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:15,560
million, like mate, would they 
get 5 or 6? 

179
00:09:15,680 --> 00:09:18,840
Yeah, they're not going to get 
10 or 12 out of no, like it's 

180
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:21,600
still not, it's not going to be,
there's still going to be a big 

181
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:25,040
void of what they're going to 
fill the mill with. 

182
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:26,800
Like if they're going to run 
both trains. 

183
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,040
Yeah. 
So yeah, it's when, when I'm 

184
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:33,600
talking conveyor that might lift
them to 5 million tonne or 4 

185
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:35,920
million tonne. 
Maybe it's not, it's not going 

186
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,520
to be 10 because it's just an 
underground. 

187
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,280
So unless it's AI, will wait and
see. 

188
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:42,920
Might have egg on me face as per
usual. 

189
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:47,400
Yeah. 
Yeah, so I think like it'll be 

190
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:51,320
the unreal if they and we'll 
talk about it with Regis as 

191
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:52,840
well. 
To get to get big tons, you need

192
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,960
big pits. 
Like not like unless you're 

193
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:58,360
going to build a big fucking 
block cave or something. 

194
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:02,960
So, and considering cage rules 
crept up into the Murchison for 

195
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:06,640
West gold, why not just keep 
going up to bubble bar and start

196
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:10,000
start punching RC and diamonds 
holes in upper Telfa? 

197
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:14,840
It'd be look and Stewie. 
I think Stewie Hines is the man 

198
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,080
to make it happen. 
Well, he's he's the advocate for

199
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:19,120
Telfa. 
He'd probably just put in a good

200
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:23,720
word for the casual boy Stewie 
to get up to up to the great 

201
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,240
land. 
Mate this is yeah province prime

202
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:29,280
fair fair expiration. 
You need to put holes in to find

203
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:33,640
stuff and you've got a new a new
steward of this asset who's 

204
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:35,200
who's setting the expiration. 
Mines. 

205
00:10:37,680 --> 00:10:41,040
Yeah, you want to maximize, 
maximize the potential, yeah, 

206
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:42,520
mining scenario by finding shit 
there. 

207
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:45,720
Yeah, well, it look and we we 
hang shit on Marble Bar a bit, 

208
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,080
but it is some great land up 
there. 

209
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:54,240
Jesus go. 
OK, drill go to great land. 

210
00:10:55,680 --> 00:10:56,920
Send Ryan back to the Pilbara. 
Oh. 

211
00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,160
He'd love it. 
He love it. 

212
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,320
He's he's ready for it. 
Oh, he'd be just eaten the 

213
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,600
bloody marble bar, right? 
I love. 

214
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:05,720
It. 
Let's talk a bit about the the 

215
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:07,320
valuation. 
Just just quickly, a lot of 

216
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:10,080
people sort of pointed out on 
Great Land that it's pretty 

217
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:14,360
enticing because it's on the the
LSE of All Beloved Exchange. 

218
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:17,000
That's the aim. 
The aim, yeah, so. 

219
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:21,680
Yeah, it's, it's TV and Aussie 
dollars is is 1.7 billion, which

220
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:25,800
like honestly screens pretty 
undemanding versus ASX peers. 

221
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:27,880
We'll talk about where where 
their values are. 

222
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:30,680
I'll be able to migrate up to 
the LSE. 

223
00:11:30,680 --> 00:11:33,160
Yeah. 
I mean, look, let's just let's 

224
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,840
see what happens when they get 
some price discovery on the ASX 

225
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,160
which that. 
Would be very interesting to 

226
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:39,600
watch. 
Yeah, yeah. 

227
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:42,040
Which is flag for mid Yale. 
Yes. 

228
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:44,720
So a quick one. 
They sort of put a bit of an 

229
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:49,760
update on the whole ASX listings
component in this quarterly they

230
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:53,640
put out the other day. 
So I mean they largely flagged 

231
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:57,880
that sort of back end of last 
year looking to do an ASICS 

232
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:03,480
listing sort of mid mid year 
this year along with keeping 

233
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:05,360
their you know existing AIM 
listing. 

234
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:11,280
But the new news, which to me at
least anyway, was that they were

235
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:16,320
also looking to undertake a 
corporate reorganization which 

236
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:21,560
basically would see the existing
Great Link Group sit under a 

237
00:12:21,560 --> 00:12:26,280
newly minted Australian 
incorporated parent company. 

238
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:31,080
And that basically gets affected
by auk scheme of arrangements 

239
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:36,240
subject to approval from the UK 
courts and Greatland 

240
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,440
shareholders. 
And so I can imagine probably 

241
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:42,120
some of the not so corporately 
inclined people are wondering 

242
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:45,080
why do we care? 
What's the point of doing this 

243
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:49,280
and what is it actually like 
practically achieve So Greatland

244
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:53,000
sort of site some sort of pretty
logical reasons in in the relays

245
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:57,200
as far as just, you know, all 
their assets and paper here. 

246
00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:00,480
It makes sense to have an Aussie
domicile, you know, Headco, you 

247
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:02,520
know, reduced costs and 
complexity blah, blah, blah, all

248
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:04,360
that sort of stuff. 
But probably the more 

249
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:09,880
interesting points is the last 
two bullet points there, which 

250
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:12,200
will pressure the screen grab 
from the quarterly greater 

251
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:15,040
flexibility to pursue new 
investment and acquisition 

252
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:18,440
opportunities in the resource 
sector and the potential for 

253
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:20,800
increased institutional 
ownership of Griteland. 

254
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:27,480
Now I imagine you know what, 
what could those new investment 

255
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:28,760
and acquisition opportunities 
be? 

256
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:30,880
I'm sure all the NTP 
shareholders getting very 

257
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:35,080
excited about that. 
But I imagine being Aussie dumb 

258
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:40,080
assault, you know, going forward
while also, you know being, you 

259
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:43,120
know, having the ASICS listings 
would, I imagine would make that

260
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:48,440
whole M and a process like 
legally processed tax wise just 

261
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:51,400
so much more simpler and 
streamlined. 

262
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:56,360
And then, you know, obviously 
having ASICS group to offer in 

263
00:13:56,400 --> 00:14:00,400
a, in a potential M&A scenario 
would be a lot more attractive 

264
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:05,840
as well. 
And also if you are like your 

265
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:10,400
head codes ASICS domicile, I 
believe you don't need fib 

266
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:16,960
approval if you're doing OK any 
future deals which which would 

267
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:20,200
make sense. 
And I'm not sure if by becoming 

268
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:26,200
Aussie domicile that they're the
A6 becomes their primary listing

269
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:28,760
and the AIM becomes secondary. 
I'm not quite sure they have to 

270
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:30,080
make that distinction. 
They have to. 

271
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:33,960
Yeah, yeah, CDI. 
I'm interested to sort of learn 

272
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:36,800
more how those mechanics works 
because that can, you know, sort

273
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,240
of have some implications for 
how they sort of operate 

274
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:41,680
themselves and corporately and 
deals and things like that. 

275
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:45,320
But I'm sure all the legal 
eagles are all over it. 

276
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:47,520
But I'm. 
Taking better tax implications, 

277
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:50,280
less conditionality with deals 
and maybe can deal done faster. 

278
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:53,640
Seems like it, which is pretty 
logical thing to do, but yeah, 

279
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:56,000
no. 
Be good to see another Aussie 

280
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:59,320
gold producer on the ASICS 
boards later this year. 

281
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:02,760
But is it, is it different? 
Not in a conventional means. 

282
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:06,840
The way you've worded it, sign 
the it'll sit under an Aussie 

283
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:09,320
parent company. 
It's not like they're creating a

284
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:13,120
like a dual listing or they're 
actually going to have a 

285
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:15,400
company. 
Is it a funky way of doing it? 

286
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:18,480
Or not honour and the dual 
listing is the dual listing. 

287
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:21,800
It's just more so how I think 
the corporate, the corporate 

288
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:25,960
structure is instead of it's 
like a a UK from what I 

289
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:29,760
understand it's like a UK 
domicile company at the minute. 

290
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:33,440
Yeah, that's, you know, 
proposing to be dual listed on, 

291
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:36,800
you know, these two exchanges. 
It's would now they're they're 

292
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,360
wanting to make it an Aussie 
domicile one. 

293
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:40,640
OK. 
So I don't think it fixed the 

294
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:42,680
listing too much. 
Which by the way, isn't a deal 

295
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:44,760
breaker. 
You can have like a Cayman 

296
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:47,920
domicile, like a Cayman 
Incorporated company listed on 

297
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:50,600
the ASX, for example. 
OK, you're allowed as a primary 

298
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:52,040
listing like stuff like that's 
allowed to happen. 

299
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:54,880
Yeah. 
But but the yeah, fab is the 

300
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,080
the. 
Interesting ones. 

301
00:15:57,080 --> 00:16:02,640
So yes, and then now we've got 
the the Regis quarterly, the 

302
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:05,840
actual full report come out 
today. 

303
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:09,560
Maddie, take us, we sort of 
touched on it earlier in the 

304
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:12,120
week, but take us through the 
OPS side of things. 

305
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:13,400
How are they going there? 
Yeah. 

306
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:17,640
Well like the thing that just 
sticks out like dogs balls on 

307
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:21,600
the announcement is that pretty 
much they've made $150 million 

308
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:26,600
cash after having dashed that on
side all year last year doing 

309
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:31,760
the gravity work it it it is 
just obvious as anything. 

310
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:35,960
So 2 nearly 2,000,000 bucks a 
day, which is heaps cheaper than

311
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,240
you know that that easily pays 
for Dashsat to be on site every 

312
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:42,120
day. 
So yeah, pretty much you could 

313
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:46,840
bloody build it an entire camp 
for Dashsat with 2,000,000 bucks

314
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:49,040
a day. 
So my cheapest way to get the 

315
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:53,920
fundamental data set required 
for exploration and make your 

316
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:57,080
drilling more efficient. 
So congratulations Regis. 

317
00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:00,960
Thanks Dashsat. 
And if you get Dashsat, you'll 

318
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:04,560
pretty much be paying for new 
nappies and formula for Nathan 

319
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:06,720
Daesh now as well. 
New day as a new day. 

320
00:17:07,319 --> 00:17:09,920
Bloody legend. 
So yeah, it's just killing two 

321
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:13,319
birds with one stone there. 
So all right, Regis all ticking 

322
00:17:13,319 --> 00:17:16,400
along bloody nicely. 
Looks like a bit of a a honey 

323
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:18,119
period for the next couple of 
years. 

324
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:22,800
So all right, shows how bloody 
big Tropicana is. 43,000 oz for 

325
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:27,000
their 30% share. 
So she's a big humdinger, that 

326
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,240
joint. 
So I'm sure they wouldn't mind 

327
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:32,240
getting 100% of that one day, 
but who knows. 

328
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:36,760
But the next couple of years for
duked and they look pretty and 

329
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:38,600
This is why they're, you know, 
making a lot of cash When I 

330
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:41,920
mentioned stockpiles is bloody 
because they look pretty heavily

331
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:45,640
dependent on those low grade 
stockpiles because they only 

332
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:50,240
mined 860,000 tons for the 
quarter, but processed a bit 

333
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:53,200
over 2 million ton. 
So hey, because you can see how 

334
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:57,920
the head grade is 1g and which 
is significantly lower than all 

335
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:00,800
the mined open put an 
underground because that's so 

336
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:03,000
they've chucked through 1.2 
million ton of low grade 

337
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,960
stockpiles at .6 to fill the 
mill. 

338
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:08,040
So it's seven and a half million
ton per annum mill. 

339
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:12,160
They're running a bit over 8 at 
the moment and they've got 10 

340
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:15,520
million tons of stockpiles for 
Duke and South of .6g. 

341
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:18,600
So that that's pretty much gives
them at that mining right with 

342
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:21,160
what they've got at the moment, 
they've got, you know two years 

343
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:24,200
of until they sort of deplete 
those stockpiles. 

344
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:26,960
So but. 
That's why that cash build is is

345
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:29,520
so awesome, Yeah, because you're
all in sustaining cost will will

346
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:31,840
recognize the mining cost from 
when they went on the stockpiles

347
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:34,080
Yeah, and that won't look as 
good, but that actual cash. 

348
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:36,480
Is a fuck who gives a fuck as 
long as you're getting the cash 

349
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:39,200
exactly. 
It's just a bit of a bit of 

350
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:44,480
funkiness, but yeah, so but so 
God, they could have, you know, 

351
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:47,080
well over a freaking billion 
dollars by the end of that 

352
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:52,120
period in in the war chest. 
So but obviously beyond that two

353
00:18:52,120 --> 00:18:55,640
year point, there will need to 
be, you know, either like some 

354
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:58,920
new pits happening at that 
Merlin Kintyre or Gloucester, 

355
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:02,640
because you're they're talking 
about having 4 undergrounds, but

356
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:05,280
you won't fill A7 and a half 
million ton per annum mill with 

357
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:08,600
four undergrounds you need 
they'll need some sort of pits 

358
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:13,000
to, you know, lift the tons up. 
So but when you make nearly 

359
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:16,760
2,000,000 bucks a day, plenty of
options for the future. 

360
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:19,720
So because, and they're also 
talking about campaign milling 

361
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:24,680
the Duke to North stockpiles and
they've got 2 million ton there 

362
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:27,440
and turning that Duke to N mill 
back on because that's another 

363
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:30,520
two and a half million ton plant
that they've got on care and 

364
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:32,800
maintenance. 
So yeah, they're going to be 

365
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:38,400
yeah, they could pretty much 
build Mcfillamys out of cash if 

366
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:43,040
in future if they wanted like. 
And so they're going to they're 

367
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:46,720
pretty, they talked a bit about 
Mcfillamys on the call and just 

368
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:49,520
signed. 
Look, if the if it was operating

369
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:53,240
today, it's like would be making
a lot of money like at these 

370
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:57,480
gold prices. 
So if was all going to plan so 

371
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:00,640
it doesn't look like it's 
scrapped forever because they 

372
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:02,320
are that's. 
An election catalyst for them, 

373
00:20:02,360 --> 00:20:02,840
right? 
Well. 

374
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:05,360
And that's, that's what they got
on the first page as well, like 

375
00:20:05,360 --> 00:20:09,560
the court proceedings against 
the Honourable Tanya Plibersek. 

376
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:13,360
So they're it's not being 
scratched not. 

377
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:17,800
Dead yet? 
No, no, so and printing that 

378
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:22,560
much cash is it's just 
unbelievable how quick the since

379
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:25,040
what last year when we're 
thinking fuck the head talk 

380
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:27,840
about the hedge book, the hedge 
book, the hedge book and the 

381
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:31,600
bullet payment. 
And then just that's gone debts 

382
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:34,720
gone printing cash potentially 
going to have a billion dollars 

383
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:37,600
in cash in a couple of years if 
they don't use it for something 

384
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:40,040
else at this run rate in this 
gold price. 

385
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:42,320
Yeah, so good on you, guy. 
Rageous. 

386
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:44,560
Yeah, yeah. 
It's been well documented that 

387
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:47,400
their costs are climbing up and 
obviously they've got these low 

388
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:49,160
grade undergrounds are bringing 
on which you know they're going 

389
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:51,200
to be high cost. 
But man, the gold price is like 

390
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:53,640
running faster than the unit 
costs are kind of climbing, 

391
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:55,800
which is just, yeah, really, 
really great for the cash 

392
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:58,760
generation so far. 
That was worth 50 mil of CapEx 

393
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:02,240
too for the quarter. 
So yeah, good on them. 

394
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:04,960
Bloody after you go, you go 
through that friggin. 

395
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:08,440
They friggin deserve it after 
the old Mcfillimy's thing last 

396
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:10,240
year because it's fucking good 
on you. 

397
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:15,040
Ellie, you did a bit of a comp 
Northern Star evolution on the 

398
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:18,280
the cash field over the. 
Border, which you sort of come 

399
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:20,440
to no, it's just interesting to 
take a look at this. 

400
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:24,240
I mean, as, as Maddie said, you 
know, the built, you know, 149 

401
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:27,360
million cash and bullying in in 
1/4. 

402
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:32,760
So yeah, even if you look at 
what Northern Star and Evo's 

403
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:35,160
generated, you know, cash and 
bullying for the quarter, you 

404
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:38,600
know, 14 and sort of 36 million 
respectively. 

405
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:44,400
And they've produced four and, 
and, and two times what Regis 

406
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:46,400
are. 
And yes, I totally get the, you 

407
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:50,120
know, different operations and 
you know, mine lives and CapEx 

408
00:21:50,120 --> 00:21:54,200
spends and and things like that.
But then you compare like the 

409
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:58,400
market capsule Northern Stars 
about 20 billion, evos is about 

410
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:02,680
11 billion versus you know rages
is very modest, you know low 

411
00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:07,520
twos billions today and what H 
are generating cash flow wise. 

412
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:09,920
It's just it's quite 
fascinating. 

413
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:15,200
And then you look at the this 
share price chart the last six 

414
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:19,120
months for rages as well, it's 
up almost 70%. 

415
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:23,160
And even I just had a look at 
what other sort of Aussie 

416
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:25,880
goldies have been doing across 
that period, which most are up, 

417
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:30,120
but it's only just behind, you 
know, catalysts and, and our 

418
00:22:30,120 --> 00:22:31,880
bandits. 
It's #3. 

419
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:36,480
Two exceptional quarters in a 
row and before that they were 

420
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:39,320
mad under performers year to 
date in 2024. 

421
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:42,200
They were, I think before they 
released that quarterly in 

422
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:46,160
October, they were kind of down 
year to day with, you know, some

423
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:49,040
all that, all the, all the, all 
the trop stuff in there. 

424
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:53,280
Yeah, there was the, there's the
royalty overhang. 

425
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:54,880
There's like all. 
That paying off the hedge book 

426
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:57,360
as well has really helped, you 
know, change the perception now 

427
00:22:57,360 --> 00:23:00,160
that they can say they're 
earning over 4000 bucks an hour 

428
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:01,080
a. 
Stellar. 

429
00:23:01,360 --> 00:23:04,200
Yeah, like you said, 4, four 
months of share price just 

430
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:05,800
soaring. 
Really makes me think of that 

431
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:07,880
expression. 
Share prices follow earnings. 

432
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:10,720
You just sort of see you put two
good ones back-to-back and the 

433
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:14,440
things even since the year 
started, it's gone from 2 bucks 

434
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:17,280
50 ish to 320 or whatever 
that's. 

435
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:19,880
Amazing. 
Yeah. 

436
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:23,720
And then we were taking a look 
at the the pay NAV sort of 

437
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:27,920
comparisons with the sort of few
other Aussie Goldies trap. 

438
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:30,160
What was your sort of your take 
away from that? 

439
00:23:30,360 --> 00:23:32,680
Yeah, Yeah. 
We charted up like basically 

440
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:36,080
since start of 2023 like yeah, 
what what multiples on price to 

441
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:42,080
NAV basis, what we've got like 
55 goldies on this chart. 

442
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:46,360
A couple of like observations is
just look at the this like, you 

443
00:23:46,360 --> 00:23:48,600
know, a lot of them clustered 
together pretty close, like one 

444
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:52,240
times NAV around around like, 
you know, 12 months ago. 

445
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:57,160
Since then, Evo's has come 
massively back in favor and it's

446
00:23:57,160 --> 00:24:01,400
like it's, you know, I think on 
SNP's kind of, you know, 

447
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:03,720
consensus estimates like 1.3 
times NAV now. 

448
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:08,440
I think in the last 24 hours, 
three different investment banks

449
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:12,000
have have downgraded them from a
buy to A to a neutral. 

450
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:15,120
Nothing, you know, related to, 
to anything other than just 

451
00:24:15,120 --> 00:24:16,480
valuation. 
It's like, you know the, the, 

452
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:19,520
you know, great, good delivery, 
good performance, good cash flow

453
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:23,120
like when Gary came online nine 
months ahead of schedule like 

454
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:25,880
and and under budget like kind 
of great delivery on that front 

455
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:28,200
operations. 
Some of them lift the target 

456
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:30,920
price, yeah, but change the 
recommendation just because it's

457
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:32,520
run so well. 
It's run so well like share 

458
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:36,080
price is like it's in the it's 
like 5 bucks like 80 again or 

459
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:38,320
something like that. 
I could be wrong, which is kind 

460
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:41,200
of crazy because at one point it
was like, yeah, really, really 

461
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:43,080
in the, in the, in the doldrums,
just. 

462
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:46,320
Low threes After the North Parks
acquisition, there was a bit of,

463
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:48,200
you know, about the capital 
raise and everything that 

464
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:50,320
weren't the most loved for a 
brief moment in time. 

465
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:54,440
Totally. 
Then on the other side of things

466
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:57,440
like what has really kind of 
rolled off on a on a pay NAV 

467
00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:02,600
basis, TT Vault has come out of 
favour just on a on a price NAV 

468
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:06,600
basis pretty substantially. 
And Regis is kind of, you know, 

469
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:09,480
come come back after a period of
underperformance. 

470
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:11,960
As you can see there. 
I think there's a bit of a a 

471
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:16,880
possibility or a perception that
maybe, yeah, maybe some of the 

472
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:20,520
yeah, some of the gold, the gold
like the large cap gold stocks 

473
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:23,720
are, are sort of fully valued in
some respect. 

474
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:26,400
And there could be this 
presumption to buy gold miners 

475
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:30,240
or these like, you know, macro 
decisions around allocating to 

476
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:31,960
the the Vanek funds of the 
world. 

477
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:34,240
And what do they do? 
They incrementally they buy more

478
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:35,760
stock of what is already large 
cap. 

479
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:39,000
And maybe that can see the, the 
very large cap stuff get, get 

480
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:42,000
more elevated prices and and 
higher premiums than they than 

481
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:43,720
they did before. 
It's just the phenomenon that 

482
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:49,400
happens in index funds generally
as a result of, of that, yeah, 

483
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:53,400
the the gold miners might have 
higher, higher value script than

484
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:56,120
than what their own internal 
views of the value of their 

485
00:25:56,120 --> 00:25:58,280
assets are. 
And in that environment, they 

486
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:00,640
might be more inclined to use 
their script to do deals. 

487
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:03,800
We saw we saw a northern star 
obviously, obviously do that, 

488
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:08,920
you know, and but even like 
Capricorn, like a like a like a 

489
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:11,880
$3 billion company now $7.50 
share price. 

490
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:15,400
They bought something for for 
3,000,000 bucks a day to some 

491
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:19,120
neighboring 10 year round Carla 
window and they use this script 

492
00:26:19,120 --> 00:26:20,680
like they've got the cash you 
know, but they've. 

493
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:22,440
Used this script paper so. 
I just think that's like a 

494
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:25,160
great, I mean, those guys have 
their fingers on the pulse of 

495
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:27,240
what they think their papers 
worth and it's a pretty clear, 

496
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:30,640
you know, signal that I think 
their papers probably worth 

497
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:32,720
worth, worth more than what 
their view of their assets are 

498
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:35,280
if they're using this script. 
That's great. 

499
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:39,600
Bring back the days of 2X NAV or
3X NAV early 2000s. 

500
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:43,840
Maybe Trump will do it for us. 
Yeah, the one you haven't got on

501
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:45,520
this Gold Rd. 
Can you imagine if the whole 

502
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:48,640
Regis Gold Rd. thing come 
together, how much cash they 

503
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:49,520
would have? 
Because Gold Rd. 

504
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:52,120
Are going to have a billion to 
themselves, yeah. 

505
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:55,680
Oh no, that was just being mad 
and actually on that. 

506
00:26:55,680 --> 00:27:00,000
So there was an interesting 
quote from from Jim Byer in the 

507
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:04,000
in the quarterly where he said 
it is worthy to note that for 

508
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:07,440
the first time since Regis 
commenced production nearly 15 

509
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:10,560
years ago, we are now debt free 
and unhedged. 

510
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:14,920
And you know, we've certainly 
saying this, this theme pop up, 

511
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:17,720
you know, around the grounds, 
all the sort of Aussie goldies 

512
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:20,960
around balance sheets, sort of 
hedging clean up and you know, 

513
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:24,120
building the war chest, You 
know, you know, vault sort of 

514
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:28,160
cleared off the old red five, 
cleared up their the rest of the

515
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:32,200
project finance sort of facility
from the old red five days, you 

516
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:35,920
know, got over, you know, half a
billion dollars in cash now, but

517
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:38,720
they still do have about 200,000
ounces of hedging in place. 

518
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:41,720
Catalyst. 
They cleared the decks on their 

519
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:45,640
on their debt last quarter. 
They over 80 million cash 

520
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:49,520
bullion, as you said, Maddie, 
you know, Gold Rd. they'll pick 

521
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:52,520
up a huge chunk of you know, 
Northern Star shares, you know, 

522
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:56,480
later this year as part of the 
degrade takeover and they're 

523
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:59,520
holding in that. 
But there's also been a few 

524
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:01,840
which this is the probably the 
more interesting one I've found 

525
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:05,760
people who have paid off their 
their debt and cleared the decks

526
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:10,840
or just generally making good 
cash, but putting in place these

527
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:15,440
new debt facilities for extra 
flexibility in, you know, 

528
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:20,280
inverted quotation marks. 
So that's a Regis is 1. 

529
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:23,520
I think they said they're 
working on that in the quarterly

530
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:28,480
Genesis got announced in the 
quarley and and West Gold more 

531
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:32,200
last year they announced that 
and you know, we're still yet to

532
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:35,120
see a few of the other Aussie 
goldies, you know come out with 

533
00:28:35,120 --> 00:28:38,160
their December quarterlies as 
well. 

534
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:42,680
So there might be more to come, 
but I think the other 

535
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:45,640
interesting thing obviously, 
which we'll be looking forward 

536
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:48,120
to is is you know, what these 
companies do with all these 

537
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:52,440
cash, particularly as you say 
Tref like they continue to stay 

538
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:57,560
sustain, you know, gold prices 
above 4000 Aussie an ounce and 

539
00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:01,000
you've got, you know, you're all
in sustaining at high ones, all 

540
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,000
those twos. 
I mean, that's just amazing. 

541
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:06,000
But you know, it's whether these
companies actually going to 

542
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:12,440
allocate this sensibly as well. 
You think of Regis as cash like 

543
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:14,840
they don't call him Jim Buyer 
for nothing. 

544
00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:20,360
You and the dead jokes today, 
you're all over. 

545
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:25,320
That's a short. 
Oh, Gee, I love that. 

546
00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:27,560
But I mean, you know, like 
there's a few of them obviously 

547
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:31,840
got big CapEx, you know, 
programs already planned, you 

548
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:34,040
know, you're perhaps doing more 
organic growth, you know, 

549
00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:38,720
drilling and expanding plant 
sizes, DVS, buybacks, M&A. 

550
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:42,360
But I think we'll have to save 
this Goldie cash flash 

551
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:46,880
speculation for a Maddie Alley 
GC special ones when you guys 

552
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:49,120
are over in Africa. 
So I think that will give a good

553
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:51,880
one. 
Get shit faced and just let it 

554
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:54,800
RIP. 
Can I, can I throw out one crazy

555
00:29:55,120 --> 00:30:00,360
deal for Regis roster? 
I'm going to start, Yeah. 

556
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:02,600
Anyway, we'll talk about that 
one later, yeah. 

557
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:04,240
Leave the audience. 
Hanging. 

558
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:05,520
See where you're going with 
that. 

559
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:07,640
Yeah, yeah, yeah. 
Right near Trop. 

560
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:11,320
Interesting. 
But yeah, even like, yeah. 

561
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:15,600
How would Revere cope with 
someone like using their script 

562
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:20,400
against him? 
Like he's like this is, oh, 

563
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:24,600
that's what that feels like, 
yeah. 

564
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:29,800
Who does maybe good? 
We'll figure it out. 

565
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:30,840
That'll be good. 
Fun. 

566
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:33,240
That's going to be a Ripper, 
right. 

567
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:37,760
Quick one, we'll just go through
Westgale briefly, who as we said

568
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:43,040
quarterly call at 1:15 Perth 
time today, which I found is 

569
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:48,320
like I think it's midnight over 
in parts of Canada, I don't 

570
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:50,200
know, must be a really. 
Strange one, yeah. 

571
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:53,960
Wayne might be having to surf 
because I've seen a video of him

572
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:55,960
surf and maybe he's I. 
Saw that on LinkedIn. 

573
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:59,960
Yeah, I did, yeah. 
So just to simplify the 

574
00:30:59,960 --> 00:31:02,960
waterfall chart for everyone 
pretty much they drew 50 mil of 

575
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:07,600
debt and the cash bullion 
investments went up 50 mil. 

576
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:12,240
I think that's. 
That's a very concise summary. 

577
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:16,080
That's about it. 
So I think as I said previously,

578
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:18,080
I'd be interested to see the 
half year accounts when they 

579
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:21,320
come out, see what that sort of 
payables number is. 

580
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:24,400
They did talk about the Drew, 
Drew the debt for, you know, 

581
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:26,800
bigger business and working 
capital movements. 

582
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:31,800
So yeah, they haven't, they've 
left their guidance unchanged. 

583
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:36,880
So it's like it was the first 
full quarter in the combined 

584
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:40,840
entity with the beta hunt and 
operations in it. 

585
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:43,880
So look, is it the bit of a 
reset quarter? 

586
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:48,080
Are they just getting everything
sort of West Golded for the 

587
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:51,040
combined entity? 
But yeah, as I said, left their 

588
00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:54,240
guidance unchanged for 400 to 
420,000 oz. 

589
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:56,160
So they got 81,000 oz this 
quarter. 

590
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:58,640
They got 77,000 the previous 
quarter. 

591
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:03,720
So unless we get a guidance 
surprise, they're going 421,000 

592
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:06,960
oz each quarter remaining to hit
the bottom end of their 

593
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:09,560
guidance. 
So yeah, they said they are 

594
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:15,240
grabbing some early ore from the
Great Fingal flats, like Q3, 

595
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:17,960
that high bit they were talking 
about looks to be only about 

596
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:21,080
5000 oz, but so not shit loads. 
And they mightn't get all that 

597
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:25,320
out by the end of the quarter, 
but the good stuff starts in Q4 

598
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:28,000
for Great Fingal, they said. 
So yeah. 

599
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:30,920
So, so if there's they're going 
to stick to that guard and slot,

600
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:35,200
fucking hell, Regis, they 
printed 150 mil for 100,000 oz 

601
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:37,800
after spending 50 mil on CapEx 
for 1/4. 

602
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:41,760
So if Westco can pull that 
together for the second-half, 

603
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:43,680
interesting to see what they 
come out with. 

604
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:47,360
But yeah, and as I, as I said, 
like you look at you look at the

605
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:51,680
run that like W Guards probably 
hasn't been underperformer in 

606
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:54,080
the last month or so compared to
the other goldies. 

607
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:57,720
But you look at you look at the 
run Regis Assad, you look at the

608
00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:00,000
gold right here. 
This January's just going on a 

609
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:03,880
Rippon month and that's after 
the whole northern starter Gray 

610
00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:06,120
announcement, which was started 
December. 

611
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:08,600
You can see the lift. 
So yeah, be interested in 

612
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:12,920
interesting if there's some 
flower funds, JC back in the 

613
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:16,800
West Gulf, who knows, but you 
never know. 

614
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:23,080
We're saying what was it? 
Was it that was Paladin? 

615
00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:25,160
Did Bellevue do it? 
No, Bellevue did the pre 

616
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:27,880
quarterly gardens downgrade? 
Yeah. 

617
00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:31,040
Interesting to see if there's 
any garden surprises or the guy 

618
00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:33,760
on Hammer and Tom. 
We will wait see. 

619
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:35,840
We will. 
Second-half waited. 

620
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:38,640
Seems to be the theme, doesn't 
it? 

621
00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:41,480
Should we talk about a bit of 
uranium? 

622
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:44,120
If anyone can let us know there 
was a first half weighted 

623
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:46,080
guidance in history, I would 
love to know. 

624
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:48,640
Yes, right, Uranium. 
Here we go. 

625
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:51,840
So just for you, Maddie, I 
thought I'd dive into this one. 

626
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:52,760
Thank you. 
Join us. 

627
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:56,360
We are going to Africa as well, 
so Lotus Resources, but we're 

628
00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:59,800
going to focus on one of the 
assets, the more imminent asset 

629
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:02,920
being Kayla Cara, which is in 
Malawi. 

630
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:05,680
So they've set the timeline of 
producing by Q3 of this calendar

631
00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:08,000
year, which is just half a year 
away. 

632
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:11,560
On the the share price front, 
it's been a pretty good start to

633
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:13,679
the year. 
They're trading around $0.25, 

634
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:17,400
which leaves them with an EV of 
around 430 million. 

635
00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:20,760
If you take the cash following 
the the raise, which was all 

636
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:25,120
sort of wrapped up in November, 
155,000,000 bucks with the the 

637
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:26,880
little bit of cash that they had
already. 

638
00:34:29,199 --> 00:34:32,960
What's you are looking at me 
because you want me to read out?

639
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:36,320
What's Kail Care all about? 
Thank you for reading that out, 

640
00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:39,400
mate. 
So it is a, it's a race that 

641
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:41,679
project to, to start with. 
As you know, Maddie, we've 

642
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:44,480
spoken about this just earlier 
today, but there's a bit of 

643
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:48,679
history that comes with it 
operated between 2009 and 2014, 

644
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:53,440
about £2,000,000 per annum that 
averaged over that period by the

645
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:56,280
mighty Paladin. 
This is back when they owned 

646
00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:58,920
this one and Langa Heinrich back
in the day. 

647
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:03,160
So it suffered from a heap of 
different challenges over that 

648
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:04,960
period. 
There was a bunch of strikes, 

649
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:09,360
protests, some very interesting 
claims of injuries at the the 

650
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:12,320
mine site as well as some 
unfortunate fatalities that 

651
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:15,120
occurred over that period, 
political upheaval in the 

652
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:18,560
country too, and problems with 
the infrastructure, as well as 

653
00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:20,480
technically getting the 
recoveries up to what they 

654
00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:23,320
expected. 
That took a long while to get to

655
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:26,960
a sort of acceptable level. 
So they've got their work cut 

656
00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:28,360
out for them. 
And obviously there's been years

657
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:32,640
where restart studies DFS came 
out in 2022 and they've been 

658
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:35,320
looking at various different 
ways of tackling this one. 

659
00:35:35,720 --> 00:35:39,640
But yeah, there's a lot of those
sorts of issues which, you know,

660
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:42,320
don't disappear even in that 
interim period they'll have to 

661
00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:44,760
tackle when they get there later
this year. 

662
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:50,360
What's so they They've got 85%. 
Who's got the other 15? 

663
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:54,680
Be the government there, yeah. 
So 10 year mine life, 2.4 

664
00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:58,400
million tons, £2.4 million per 
annum is what they're targeting 

665
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:01,880
at an all in sustaining cost of 
about US 45. 

666
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:03,360
But take that with a pinch of 
salt. 

667
00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:06,040
They said it doesn't include the
ramp up or the back end 

668
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:08,280
stockpile. 
So it's steady state for that 

669
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:12,840
sort of years one or sort of 
years two to seven period. 

670
00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:15,040
Getting into the resource is 
kind of interesting. 

671
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:19,080
They talk about reserves of 
16,000,000 tons at 660 parts per

672
00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:22,760
million U3O8, while the 
resources reflect a bit of a 

673
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:27,080
lower grade 500 PPM. 
But I went back and looked at 

674
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:29,360
some of the quarterlies and some
of the reporting from about a 

675
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:31,560
decade ago when Paladin operated
it. 

676
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:33,280
And there's, there's a bit of a 
contrast. 

677
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:36,600
You can see in this screen grab 
from one of the quarterlies that

678
00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:42,320
the the numbers that we're 
mining, we're talking about 1065

679
00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:48,120
PPM in one quarter, 1800 PPM in 
the December quarter going 

680
00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:53,000
through the the plant we're 
talking about on average 1100 

681
00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:55,320
PPM. 
So that's almost double of what 

682
00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:57,080
they're talking about here. 
And we know that sort of 

683
00:36:57,360 --> 00:37:00,520
relationship between grade you 
put through and recovery is a 

684
00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:03,640
very important one, especially 
for an operation that had these 

685
00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:05,760
challenges with the with the 
plant. 

686
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:10,240
So it's kind of interesting to 
to contrast those two numbers 

687
00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:14,120
and that you know, reflecting in
the the operating costs at the 

688
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:16,040
time is pretty interesting as 
well. 

689
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:19,480
Take the FY12 number which isn't
a ramp up number. 

690
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:22,400
So 2009 is when this started. 
So this is more than two years 

691
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:27,160
into running the thing and C1 
costs were US 54. 

692
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:29,520
They didn't report an all in 
sustaining cost, but I think 

693
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:34,760
it's fair to say at least 20%, 
maybe 30% higher more than 30% 

694
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:38,160
is the ratio right now between 
C1 and all in sustaining costs. 

695
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:41,800
So hard to sort of can make 
money depending on which sort of

696
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:43,040
point in time and what the price
is. 

697
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:47,080
But that is a pretty high 
quartile operation for those 

698
00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:49,600
periods. 
Albeit there were disruptions in

699
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:52,480
that year, but it wasn't really 
till the last year before care 

700
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:54,760
and maintenance where they got 
the thing close to what you'd 

701
00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:57,680
call kind of humming pulled the 
all in sustaining cost right 

702
00:37:57,680 --> 00:37:59,600
down. 
It was challenging for a number 

703
00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:03,240
of years there. 
I'd love to say yeah, the 

704
00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:06,560
uranium cost curve, it seems 
like everything's like this. 

705
00:38:07,240 --> 00:38:09,520
Like besides, there's that 
problem. 

706
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:12,800
It's a guy like MacArthur River.
Yeah, like everything, 

707
00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:17,880
everything is like at these 
prices are like bit touching 

708
00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:18,280
guys. 
It's. 

709
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:20,720
So volatile as well, right, 
Because as the price changes, 

710
00:38:20,720 --> 00:38:24,240
things come online over time, 
things drop offline and then it 

711
00:38:24,240 --> 00:38:26,880
shifts and it's, you know, 
uranium is a bit of a quirky 

712
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:29,200
market where you're not just 
buying on spot immediately. 

713
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:32,280
It's kind of interesting to look
at the money you're actually 

714
00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:34,200
getting isn't the spot price. 
It could be different, which 

715
00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:37,240
means you can be online longer, 
shorter, yeah, all these sorts 

716
00:38:37,240 --> 00:38:39,920
of things. 
But to pull it back to the here 

717
00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:42,160
and now to see where the company
is right now, they raised 

718
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:44,840
130,000,000 bucks in October for
the restart. 

719
00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:48,720
They spoke about this 
accelerated production plan that

720
00:38:48,720 --> 00:38:51,760
nearly halved the restart 
capital they needed to US 50 

721
00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:54,560
million. 
Obviously plant and all that 

722
00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:57,240
sort of stuff is still there and
they can utilize a lot of that. 

723
00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:01,240
They also nearly halved the time
to get rest, get restarted. 

724
00:39:01,240 --> 00:39:05,200
So from 15 months down to what 
they say is 8 to 10 months 

725
00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:09,960
versus the 2022 DFS. 
Now those costs don't just 

726
00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:11,920
disappear. 
They've moved them out of 

727
00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:14,080
restart capital into sustaining 
capital. 

728
00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:17,000
So what they said is they're not
relying on these longer lead 

729
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:19,480
time items that aren't critical 
for first production. 

730
00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:22,240
But in reality, that just means 
you can have higher operating 

731
00:39:22,240 --> 00:39:25,720
costs in the near term because 
there's things like grid power 

732
00:39:25,720 --> 00:39:28,440
connection, you're not paying 
the money to hook up to the grid

733
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:30,640
power right now. 
So you're going to rely on the 

734
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:32,360
diesel generator. 
You're going to have higher 

735
00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:35,960
costs if they've said that a 
good few months ago in the in 

736
00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:38,560
the restart plan. 
The same can be said for 

737
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:40,680
refurbishment of the sulfuric 
acid plant. 

738
00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:43,920
They're going to be trucking it,
you know, logistics, all these 

739
00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:45,200
sorts of costs are going to be 
involved. 

740
00:39:45,720 --> 00:39:48,120
You're going to be buying it on 
the market and importing it 

741
00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:51,480
rather than refurbing the plant 
and doing it on site. 

742
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:54,400
Again, high costs. 
So those all in sustaining costs

743
00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:58,760
are going to be north of $65 for
the first year or so while they 

744
00:39:59,920 --> 00:40:01,800
while they don't have these 
things online. 

745
00:40:02,240 --> 00:40:04,760
And then in the interim, over 
that sort of 2627 period, 

746
00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:06,000
they're going to have to spend 
the money. 

747
00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:10,080
To get it done so you can give 
them the benefit of the doubt. 

748
00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:13,040
You could look at it positively 
and say maybe it does look the 

749
00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:16,400
maybe it does make the project 
economics a bit better. 

750
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:19,640
You're bringing in cash flow 
somewhat sooner, hopefully in 

751
00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:22,120
the door from sales. 
It's a bit of a balancing act. 

752
00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:24,880
I haven't looked month by month.
I don't know exactly what it 

753
00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:27,960
looks like. 
But yeah, there could be various

754
00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:29,760
reasons why they've gone about 
it this way. 

755
00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:34,200
And they do point to having $79 
million in excess liquidity 

756
00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:39,000
after the upfront costs and 
after the other bits of CapEx 

757
00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:41,680
have been spent. 
So they're pointing to a big 

758
00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:43,680
buffer. 
But then there's more fine print

759
00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:46,640
you've kind of got to read with 
other pre production costs not 

760
00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:51,480
even included in that CapEx. 
So yeah, you'd want to look very

761
00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:54,400
closely especially with those, 
those quarters, what's going in 

762
00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:56,280
and out, what they're sort of 
making because I don't 

763
00:40:56,280 --> 00:40:58,720
anticipate they'll be making a 
heap of money while they're fine

764
00:40:58,720 --> 00:41:02,240
tuning the plant, while the 
costs are so high and CapEx is 

765
00:41:02,240 --> 00:41:05,160
going to have to be spent after 
that restart CapEx. 

766
00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:09,320
So it'll be, it'll be an 
interesting few quarters and a 

767
00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:11,880
couple years really. 
And I think that's part of the 

768
00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:15,880
reason they they upsized that, 
that capital raise they did 

769
00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:17,720
while there was interest, they 
took the money on board. 

770
00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:20,160
They're debt free. 
They've got a bit of a facility.

771
00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:23,280
They haven't drawn upon it yet. 
But if you know on that front, 

772
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:25,480
they've done some good sort of 
measures to put them in good 

773
00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:29,240
stead, I reckon. 
Yes, that was, that was freaking

774
00:41:29,240 --> 00:41:30,880
detailed JD. 
Thank you mate. 

775
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:33,040
That was high level shit. 
I just chugged the coffee and 

776
00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:34,440
just got into it, punching it 
out. 

777
00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:35,760
Oh. 
God, you're opposite of me 

778
00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:36,160
today. 
How do you? 

779
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:39,640
Think how do you think that that
Lecarne fits into like their 

780
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:42,640
plans? 
So that I mean scoping study in 

781
00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:47,280
in the works right now just I 
think it's yeah, back burner. 

782
00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:49,400
Yeah. 
I think like you got a 

783
00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:51,880
relatively small team there 
working on things. 

784
00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:54,840
I don't think you're going to be
spending an awful lot of time on

785
00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:57,840
the thing that's at Skyping 
phase right now when you need to

786
00:41:57,840 --> 00:42:00,600
get this online and the market 
is going to be looking quarter 

787
00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:02,600
by quarter how it's sort of 
performing. 

788
00:42:02,720 --> 00:42:05,960
That's kind of what I'd imagine 
that. 

789
00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:07,920
That said, we've obviously 
spoken about a bunch of other 

790
00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:10,960
operations, uranium operations 
being restarted and coming 

791
00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:15,720
online that sort of coincided 
with a lot of them peeling off 

792
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:18,760
share price wise as I think the 
market kind of stepped down 

793
00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:21,000
there. 
Expectations of what ramp up 

794
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:22,120
could be. 
I think there was a few 

795
00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:24,440
disappointments out there and 
people realize, hey, this is 

796
00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:27,360
actually pretty hard. 
The share price of Lotus nearly 

797
00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:29,640
halved. 
It went from close to $0.50 to 

798
00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:33,040
more than halved at some points.
Now it's sitting about half the 

799
00:42:33,040 --> 00:42:35,440
highest of just six or seven 
months ago. 

800
00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:39,000
So I think the market did sort 
of take into account there was 

801
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:42,240
that initial excitement in 
October where these guys pulled 

802
00:42:42,240 --> 00:42:44,720
forward production. 
It was meant to take 15 months 

803
00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:48,560
and be a bit delayed. 
So they pulled production to Q3 

804
00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:50,760
of this year. 
Share price ticks up, but then 

805
00:42:50,760 --> 00:42:53,080
people realize this is going to 
be pretty hard. 

806
00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:56,480
It's not a sure thing that we're
going to get there smoothly and 

807
00:42:56,480 --> 00:42:58,160
it's going to cost a fair bit of
money. 

808
00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:01,520
So I think the, you know, the 
excitement was taken out the 

809
00:43:01,520 --> 00:43:03,400
stock as well. 
They did that capital raising 

810
00:43:03,720 --> 00:43:05,120
when the share price was beaten 
up. 

811
00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:07,920
So they ended up doing that 
around that sort of $0.25 mark 

812
00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:10,560
as opposed to where they were in
the in the 40s close to 50 

813
00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:13,280
before, which sets the whole bar
lower because you bring on all 

814
00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:16,800
this capital, 130 million for a 
roughly half a billion dollar 

815
00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:18,880
company. 
Because do they have any debt? 

816
00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:21,840
No. 
So they got a 15,000,000 U.S. 

817
00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:25,320
dollar facility with one of 
their off takers, but they 

818
00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:26,760
haven't drawn upon that as of 
yet. 

819
00:43:26,760 --> 00:43:29,640
They haven't, you know, notified
the market maybe we see in the 

820
00:43:29,640 --> 00:43:33,080
quarterly that they drew upon a 
little bit, but that that's a 

821
00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:35,320
strong positive that, you know, 
they're not going to be running 

822
00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:38,840
the, the risks of single asset 
coming online with a bunch of 

823
00:43:38,840 --> 00:43:40,200
debt as well. 
They don't have those sorts of 

824
00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:43,200
challenges. 
But yeah, lots to lots to look 

825
00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:44,680
out for. 
And I, you know, expect in the 

826
00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:47,600
next week or so that we get the,
the quarterly. 

827
00:43:47,720 --> 00:43:51,960
I mean the just to round out on 
ramp up, they're expecting a, a 

828
00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:55,120
fair bit like this chart. 
You're not getting exact 

829
00:43:55,120 --> 00:43:58,520
numbers, but there were some 
numbers put to what they would 

830
00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:03,680
do over the ramp up five month 
period which was £600,000 and 

831
00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:05,520
then they're saying they'll be 
at steady state by halfway 

832
00:44:05,520 --> 00:44:08,760
through the financial year. 
That indicates one and a half 

833
00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:11,800
million pounds. 
I saw a one broker estimate 

834
00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:13,680
which was less than half of 
that. 

835
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:15,600
I don't think they'll get to 
that number. 

836
00:44:15,600 --> 00:44:16,760
I'd be mighty impressed if they 
do. 

837
00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:20,640
That's a lot to sort of churn 
out for that kind of period and 

838
00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:22,640
I do think the expectation is 
quite a bit below what they've 

839
00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:24,800
said there. 
So we'll wait and see what they 

840
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:26,720
come up with. 
It'll come around bloody pretty 

841
00:44:26,720 --> 00:44:29,960
quick with Q325. 
It sure will, Alan do you. 

842
00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:32,360
They'll be going gangbusters 
right now, yes. 

843
00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:34,920
Oh, very good. 
Well, we've got a bloody settle 

844
00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:37,440
in for another uranium yarn 
after this. 

845
00:44:37,480 --> 00:44:38,360
Five fence to go. 
Oh. 

846
00:44:38,680 --> 00:44:40,840
Right, right. 
Oh, thank you all the thank you 

847
00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:43,880

back JC. 

848
00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:45,960

849
00:44:45,960 --> 00:44:48,240
time.
