At the time of the merger being proposed (29 Sept) the gold price was $1190 and BDR was on its knees.
What's different today... the gold price is $1308 the plant upgrade is complete a tax refund of USD $10.3m was received a new mining contractor is fully mobilised (move that dirt) the business has been re-structured a USD $5M debt repayment has been made to Santander. One final payment of $5M due in April 2019 forecast production is 145-155K at a AISC between $1000 - $1100 2019 EBITDA should land between $30M to $45M USD
So when they rang me last week to ask how l will be voting. I said, that l will be voting AGAINST the merger, because it's grossly unfair and there is a turnaround story emerging. GPL need to offer better terms and quickly.
