Just had time to listen to the Quarterly briefing and am very confused on this Wagina Solomon Islands Project.
The Quarterly Report says we signed up an Option Agreement in the June Quarter, have lent South West Pacific Bauxite $190,000, no material work done in the September Quarter but work resuming in the December Quarter with the outcome expected early 2019. It also says that MLM to date have found no material issues that might deter the Company from proceeding with the acquisition (probably because there has been little work done to date).
In the briefing however, Simon now says that no material expenditure will be performed in the December Qtr due to elections in the Solomons and MLM have been assisting SWPB in obtaining funding (not sure why that's our job?). He goes on to say that the funding is required by SWPB to carry out due diligence on MLM's behalf ???? Does that mean that the mob we are buying the Project from is doing our DD ???.......... wtf ???
Also, the Financial Report has the SWPB loan noted as impaired and written down to $0. You only normally do this if you have genuine expectations of not getting a loan repaid.
Can someone enlighten me on this as I must be misinterpreting something surely and all I ever seem to get from the Company is positive spin.
