Naraha has been mentioned as a possible 6m USD contribution from ORE so lets say 10m USD capital required
295 + 15 + 10 = 320m USD
New debt funding package is 180m USD
So ignoring stage 1 cashflows during construction, shareholder loans would be maximum of 140m USD, and of this 75% comes from ORE = 105m USD
ORE are currently sitting on 308m USD cash, so 203m USD cash remains available for other purposes.
Cauchari ? Seems to be gathering momentum. ORE's interest in the project is approx 50% (25% direct interest and a roughly one third share in AAL which holds the balance). Well funded for that.
Stage 3 ? Far too soon
Borax...? A smallish investment if it was too happen.
Something out of left field ???

But wasn't the US40 million early works programs committed strictly from cashflow?
