Kazatomprom Sends Uranium Stock Flying

It’s a big day for the U-bulls out there following Kazatomprom’s results late on Friday as well as ERA update and capital raising trading halt. We also saw annual results from lithium major Pilbara Minerals who added a tidy $1b debt facility to boot.

1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,480
Righto muddy miners, welcome to
a a bloody good start to the

2
00:00:04,520 --> 00:00:07,440
week from you.
It's a bit of a fan of uranium.

3
00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:09,880
We're up muddy.
Oh, we're up.

4
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:14,480
Brought to you by Axis Modern
Technology, the bloody trusted

5
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:16,960
advisor and drill.
I'll serve a instrumentation.

6
00:00:17,080 --> 00:00:20,360
Axis are alive and well and so
is trap.

7
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:23,120
For all those people that have
been concerned about his well

8
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:25,360
being, he does exist in the
flesh.

9
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:28,720
I'm still here.
He's we, we didn't want to

10
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:31,000
clarify that you were alive or
anything.

11
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:34,040
It was more interesting watching
all the YouTube comment

12
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:36,080
commentators wig out.
Just speculate.

13
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:39,240
Yeah, yeah, yeah, there was,
there was a yeah big YouTube

14
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:41,960
group and like one of one of
them just went missing and they

15
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:44,280
never addressed why.
Yeah, I remember he was telling

16
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:45,280
me about that.
Yeah.

17
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:47,880
Did they ever come back?
Yeah, no, they, they, well,

18
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:51,880
that, that member didn't know,
but they, they just thought the

19
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:54,480
audience wouldn't like notice.
Yeah, Notice.

20
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:56,680
Yeah.
Anyway, that's not us, hey?

21
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:00,400
Right, JBD, welcome from across
the ditch.

22
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:02,200
He's gonna be back in the flesh
this week.

23
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:04,599
We get to touch him.
That's it mate.

24
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:07,920
Right we're gone bloody.
She's all she's actually a bit

25
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,200
of uranium at the start.
There's two bloody uranium

26
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:11,600
stories.
Oh, 'cause Adam prom

27
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:17,920
announcement on Friday and there
is a bit more going on in the

28
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,720
world of energy resources
Australia.

29
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:26,640
ERI, there is a great Jabaluka.
It is interesting.

30
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,800
Trav's going bloody deep.
I don't, I don't even know how

31
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:33,440
to surmise it, but it's just out
there what's going on and.

32
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,080
On the other side of the
spectrum, Pilgrim Minerals

33
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,080
reported there a half year
results for RJD.

34
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,600
Yeah, Yeah.
I mean get the get the annual

35
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:44,880
results actually today and
amongst, you know, a raft of

36
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:48,080
other annual numbers coming out.
So I don't know why, but I

37
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,160
touched on that one again.
It seems to be one people kind

38
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:53,800
of interested in, but we'll see.
And then also I thought we'd

39
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,040
have a quick shout if we if we
have time about the the

40
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,200
dividends and the company's not
paying dividends as well just to

41
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,600
tie on at the back.
It's right up.

42
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,440
Let's get into it.
So it feels like this is my

43
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,479
calling when like there's any
Cos out of prom stuff, it's like

44
00:02:09,759 --> 00:02:11,960
and good to say you just
logically put it at this the

45
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,920
first storage ID like there's
good back in order there, mate.

46
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,080
Mate, we save ourselves a bit of
work to slot it in nicely at the

47
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:21,120
top.
He is all green on the screen

48
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:24,040
for the Aussie U stocks.
Most stocks up 10% today.

49
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:27,680
Painful first day for the short
as I'd assume so if you looked

50
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,760
at the last numbers of the short
positions which T + 4.

51
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,040
So this is probably last
Tuesday.

52
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:37,680
Paladin, Boss and Deep Yellow
were all around 9% shorted so we

53
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,760
don't know yet if any of them
were unwound slightly by the end

54
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:42,880
of last week because of the four
day lag.

55
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,760
So check short man on about
Thursday and you'll figure about

56
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,360
what what it was before this
announcement.

57
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,800
So let's let's bloody let's set
the same.

58
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:56,480
So because pretty much just
after the ISX closed on Fridays

59
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,920
when because Adam problem coming
out with their first half 2024

60
00:02:59,920 --> 00:03:03,640
results, which was sort of
already disclosed at the start

61
00:03:03,640 --> 00:03:07,560
of August, but whatever one was
waiting for the 2025 production

62
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,640
garden guidance.
So I'll start with the results

63
00:03:10,640 --> 00:03:14,760
first then we'll get into 2025
and beyond first half physicals

64
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,840
which as I said coming out on
1st of August along with their

65
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:22,440
updated 2024 guidance.
So they said they got 10,857

66
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:27,080
tonnes AU for the first half
with updated 2024 guidance of

67
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:31,760
midpoint of 23,000 tonnes AU
which was up from their previous

68
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:36,200
guidance that they slash back
down of 21 to 22 1/2.

69
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,400
So this at that time when they
released that.

70
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:42,040
So the pre, pre announcement
that actually sent the bloody

71
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,880
equities down 'cause they
actually lifted beyond what they

72
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,880
were thinking for the year.
But you look at those numbers,

73
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:51,320
they're actually they're
anticipating or guiding for a

74
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:56,480
much stronger second half than
the 1st to reach that 2024

75
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,480
guidance of 23,000 tonnes.
So they're going to have to hit

76
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:04,240
a bit over 12,000 tonnes of U
for the midpoint.

77
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:09,760
So, and when, when we say U,
that's tonnes of uranium times

78
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:14,600
that by 2600 and that'll give
you 1,000,000 lbs of U3O8

79
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:19,279
equivalent.
So JD, you're squinting at that.

80
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:23,000
It's a, you're right, Uranium's
you're right, tonnes of U to

81
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,000
U3O8.
It's not 2200 like kilo to

82
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,840
pound, it's actually 2600.
Must be, must be a bloody

83
00:04:29,840 --> 00:04:34,360
density thing.
So now and also the, the new

84
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:38,400
info that come out on Friday
that wasn't released prior was

85
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,960
the inventory levels.
So you can see that they've

86
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:48,360
dropped a further 20% year on
year on 100% basis for the Cos

87
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:52,160
Adam Prom operations and then
they've dropped 31 percent on

88
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,440
Cos Adam Prom's attributable
basis.

89
00:04:54,440 --> 00:05:00,400
So for you can see that they've
only got a bet on the Cazadam

90
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,920
Prom attributable production.
They've only got a now about

91
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:06,280
four months of production in
inventory.

92
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,760
So look Benny Feingold and the
Ocean Wall team did a great note

93
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:12,280
on this Cazadam Prom news.
And you can see in the table

94
00:05:12,280 --> 00:05:16,360
below from their note that
inventories of well over halved

95
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:19,520
since 2019.
And so by the end of this year

96
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:21,600
they'll be possibly at 9 year
lows.

97
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:25,120
So, and that's, that's based on
them hitting the midpoint of

98
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:29,560
their result revised 2024
guidance, so FY22 guidance.

99
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,920
So I guess what does this mean
is if because Adam prompt don't

100
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:37,880
hit their midpoint, so they
achieve 1000 tonne of UU less,

101
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:41,920
which is £2.6 million.
And if they want to maintain

102
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,800
inventories because they are so
low, that means there's

103
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:48,240
potential they'll have to start
going into the spot market to

104
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:52,280
purchase those pounds.
So maybe like for every thousand

105
00:05:52,280 --> 00:05:56,080
tonne of U they have to get,
that's £2.6 million in the very

106
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,240
thinly traded spot market, so.
In simple terms, is that

107
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:02,080
inventory depleting because, you
know, they they're contracted to

108
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:05,080
supply an amount that they're
not quite, you know, not

109
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:06,880
producing?
Yeah, not, not hitting, not

110
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,920
hitting the physicals, contracts
or contracts.

111
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:11,960
And like they, they've
notoriously said, there was a

112
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:15,760
comment here saying that they've
notoriously kept some uranium

113
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:20,640
uncontracted to leverage off the
benefits of potentially selling

114
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:24,160
at a high spot price.
But then the wording is that has

115
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:29,040
resulted in them, you know,
depleting because depleting

116
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:30,720
inventories because they haven't
been hitting the targets.

117
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:32,000
So they've been having to use
that.

118
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,160
It's actually more fragile
situation.

119
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,920
Very much so.
So four months of production on

120
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:40,280
a big scale, It's yes, very
interesting.

121
00:06:40,280 --> 00:06:45,760
Now, 2025 and beyond, this was
the, you'd say the big, the big

122
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,240
news that came out, whatever
everyone was waiting for.

123
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:51,560
So from a combination of
construction delays for their

124
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:56,840
sites, potential for limited
access to sulfuric acid supply

125
00:06:56,840 --> 00:07:00,000
to continue, which they're
pretty much saying is inevitable

126
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:04,480
until they get this sulfuric
acid plant properly plant

127
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:09,880
something properly built on
site, they've slashed their 2025

128
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:15,520
production guidance from 31,000
tonne a year to 25750.

129
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:21,440
So yeah, that that equates to a
cut of £17.3 million.

130
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,920
So that that's the output of
Cigar Lake.

131
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:29,440
Wow, wiped, wiped like that.
So that's been the big kick.

132
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,040
I know everyone was sort of
thinking that that was what was

133
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,640
going to happen, but there was
the feeling that like, oh,

134
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,080
'cause that problem they just
always over over promising.

135
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,160
They'll just keep over
promising.

136
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:42,200
But they actually went bang.
They're like, look out.

137
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,840
Yeah, they might.
Who knows, They might be over

138
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:46,560
promising on this too.
Who knows?

139
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:50,000
The 25750 is still higher than
what they're going to produce.

140
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:54,320
So it's still it's it's still
higher than what they have

141
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:57,200
guided for this year.
I think it was 14% higher.

142
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:01,680
And because as the and the
whole, the whole thing is around

143
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:06,080
the the delay in ramp up to boot
an off score, which is like

144
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:10,920
that's the big humdinger that is
coming online, but there's been

145
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,320
delays.
So I'll I'll get into that.

146
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:20,280
So because when they initially
guided this whole 2025 onwards,

147
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,960
they when they said they were
going to get 31,000, which is

148
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:26,760
like frigging £80 million, they
said they were going to be

149
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:30,160
increasing to 100% of their sub
soil use agreements across all

150
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,440
their tenements.
So those sub soil agreements

151
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:35,559
means they can only they got AI
think it's like a competent

152
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:39,559
person report to say you can.
This is the production volume to

153
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:43,320
come out of there, and they have
to produce between 80 and 100%

154
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:45,040
of that.
They can't go above 100%.

155
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,480
They can't go below 80% either.
They have to produce in that

156
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,800
range.
So what this is the they've

157
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,800
actually mentioned that they're
renegotiating some of these sub

158
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:57,440
soil agreements to so because
they're at risk of actually

159
00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:01,640
falling below the 80% threshold.
So they've gone from saying

160
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:05,040
they've going to produce at 100%
as much as they can get out of

161
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,800
it to now at risk of not even
producing at 80%.

162
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,440
So they've had to, they're going
to have to renegotiate those

163
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,720
subsoil agreements so that
they're not at risk of going

164
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:15,680
below.
What's the why?

165
00:09:15,680 --> 00:09:17,200
Why would you produce less than
80?

166
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:20,360
You just constrained physically.
Yeah, like will the acid supply

167
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,880
like I haven't got enough acid
to bloody maintain the

168
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:24,720
production.
Like whether there's been

169
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:29,160
operational challenges or lot of
what they've the competent

170
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:32,920
person report hasn't truly
reflected what's coming out of

171
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,920
there.
And because I think the as well

172
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:40,480
the the lack of stability around
that sulfuric acid supply means

173
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:43,720
that like if you start putting
less in, I think it can be like

174
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:47,720
detrimental to the like in terms
of the geology of it to maintain

175
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:52,160
that sort of steady state.
So it's like, it's like a I

176
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:56,880
would compare it to how Stoitus
talks about a pox plant.

177
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,440
He says it just needs to it
needs to keep going and then the

178
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,520
temperature needs to be high.
It just needs a steady state.

179
00:10:02,680 --> 00:10:04,200
Yeah.
And my understanding of this

180
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:08,160
based on fuck all is that that
it's probably the same here.

181
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:13,200
So yeah, they're the the ones
they're renegotiating that

182
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,720
they've mentioned are like
booting off score.

183
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:20,280
That's the 51% Saturn from 49%
Russia's result on and APAC,

184
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,120
which is it's Apac's a lot
smaller.

185
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:26,680
That's 64% because Adam prom
that this is a Japan one.

186
00:10:26,680 --> 00:10:29,920
So with 24% Summatomo, 10% kept
car.

187
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:33,760
So that's where they're going to
introduce changes to the subsoil

188
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:35,920
use agreement.
They're the two of the ones.

189
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:39,320
And I guess before we get into
the numbers, I'll show you the

190
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:43,560
chart to give a bit of context
around how big burden off score

191
00:10:43,560 --> 00:10:45,760
is.
So you can say the what this is

192
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:49,440
circle that is what that is the
amount of uranium that burden

193
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:53,080
off score it was going to
contribute and that has been

194
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:55,680
signal significantly pushed back
because I was saying they were

195
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,280
going to get 2 1/2 thousand
tonne in 2024.

196
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:02,760
That's been slashed to 520.
Twenty five was supposed to be

197
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:09,200
4000 tonne now guiding 1300 and
2026 was supposed to be 9 play

198
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:16,640
6000 tonne or what's that £15.6
million now 3750 tonne.

199
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:20,720
So 99 play capacity not expected
before 2027.

200
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:25,440
So like 1-2 years light and the
first three years of production

201
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:29,800
out of that mine is committed,
all committed to Russia.

202
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:36,800
So it both delays that uranium
getting to Russia, but then also

203
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:41,080
delays beyond that the potential
of any of that uranium coming to

204
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,200
the West.
So it's a bit of a question.

205
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:45,600
Without notice is like.
Plenty of them.

206
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:49,120
Because there's a delay.
Are they, are they still going

207
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:53,360
to have some contractual like
obligation to provide, you know,

208
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:56,720
Russia X amount in the, you
know, this, this, this 2025 when

209
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:58,600
they're supposed to be ramping
up and they have to buy it on

210
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:03,680
the spot?
Market, yeah, I'm not I maybe

211
00:12:03,680 --> 00:12:07,160
because it's such an outpiped
market you would assume that the

212
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:10,960
contracts are a volume basis.
So I think when they said first

213
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:14,280
three years of production was
based on that previous ramp up,

214
00:12:14,560 --> 00:12:17,000
right.
So whether they whether they

215
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:22,400
have to either use inventory or
use their the spot market, as

216
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:27,400
you said to fulfil that, not
sure that'd be so Uranium

217
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,360
contracts things obviously very
opaque, especially the Russian

218
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,800
contracts.
Well, you couldn't, that'd be

219
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:34,800
the hardest one.
If anyone's got info on the

220
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,360
bloody booted off score
contract, let us know.

221
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:41,120
But yeah, it's exactly what you
say they'd be between between

222
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,840
the inventories and the spot.
I I would assume Russia would be

223
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:46,400
like, you still have to feel
that you've said you were going

224
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:48,400
to get this.
You still have to view.

225
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:53,120
Love, love it, love it.
So now another interesting part

226
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:57,160
was the sensitivity table they
put in for that revised mineral

227
00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:00,800
extraction text that we talked
about start of July.

228
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:04,560
Now I'm not 100% confident on
the interpretation of this, so

229
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:08,840
feel free to message good old
jc@moneyinmind.com with any

230
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:12,960
different interpretations.
But this is what came out 1st of

231
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:19,200
July that we, we saw this, this
tearing tax rate based on the

232
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:24,360
annual production volume for
each subsoil, subsoil agreement

233
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:28,080
plus the, an additional tax
based on the spot price.

234
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:35,160
I, I interpreted this as you're
booted off score your Catco,

235
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:39,840
your which is the, that's the
Urano JV, your Inkai, which is

236
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,080
the chemical JV.
That was the three biggest

237
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:46,800
producers going forward and on
we interpreted as lot, they're

238
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,280
the ones going to get hit with
the highest tax because they

239
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:52,040
produce the largest amounts of
volume.

240
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:59,280
But the sensitivity table they
put in it sort of now now says

241
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:06,000
that those like tax like between
the spot price and like the tax

242
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:10,120
rate applied to percentages of
CPR production volume.

243
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:13,520
Now CPR is the competent
personal support which I assume

244
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:17,720
is the subsoil volume
requirement for each subsoil

245
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:20,440
agreement.
It looks like that the those tax

246
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:22,920
rates are based on the
percentage they take out of

247
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:25,480
those subsoil agreements.
So even even if they're a

248
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:29,440
smaller producer, if they're
producing 100% of their subsoil

249
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:32,160
agreement, even if they're
smaller, they're going to get

250
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:35,920
taxed at that higher price.
That's how I interpret.

251
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:38,440
It's not didn't appear to be a
volume thing.

252
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:41,440
Now appears like a percentage of
the subsoil use agreement.

253
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:48,880
So, yeah, looking so that's even
more, even less of an incentive

254
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:52,080
to increase production across
all the thing.

255
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:55,040
That's how I want to so happy to
happy to get bloody clarified on

256
00:14:55,040 --> 00:15:00,120
that one perfectly.
And it also shows how much more

257
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:04,200
sensitive an increase in
production is compared to an

258
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:08,520
increase in spot price.
Because if you look at at

259
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:11,880
today's spot price, a 10% lift
in production increases the tax

260
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:16,840
by 2%, but a 10%, $10 lift in
the spot price only increases

261
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:21,320
the tax by a .4%.
So perfectly articulated by I'd

262
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:24,800
say Mike Olkin 2 point O art
hard on Twitter.

263
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:27,000
He's fucking all over at this
blog.

264
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:30,440
So he says that this is just
future proof that 'cause Adam

265
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:34,720
problem are incentivized to
produce less and not incentivize

266
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,680
to cap uranium prices cause of
that sensitivity.

267
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:41,680
So good on yard he was he was
all over soon as it come out.

268
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:45,200
I think he even have the half
predicted this is what was going

269
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:48,000
to happen in a tweet the day.
Oh mate, he's a friggin oh.

270
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:52,560
Love the bloke, love him.
So what is brewing here?

271
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:57,480
Let's sum it up.
Continued sulphuric acid supply

272
00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:02,480
issues seem to be the thing
still for the inevitable future

273
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:07,000
and they cause and they're not
even releasing 2026 guidance

274
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:09,960
until at least this time next
year.

275
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:13,120
So can you?
Can you think of like for I

276
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:17,120
guess any, any commodity like
where you've got the biggest

277
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:21,400
supplier of something in the
world and you don't know what

278
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:26,120
they're going to be sort of
producing in a year's time like?

279
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:30,040
Wow, that's a great question.
Does anyone like, is there that?

280
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:33,160
Is there a something that you
can think of where there is that

281
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:36,120
much uncertainty about the
biggest supply of something?

282
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,400
I can't think of.
Yeah, JD, you'd be all over

283
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:40,440
this.
You're a macro.

284
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:44,880
I think the, the margin of error
around here is way bigger than

285
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:47,840
any other commodity that that
kind of comes to mind.

286
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:51,480
I mean that that number, I'm not
sure if you quoted it above, I

287
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:55,640
didn't hear it, but that is like
a super substantial amount of

288
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:58,480
world supply that's just been
chalked off.

289
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:00,680
Like I I'm not sure what the
well it was. 12 I think it was

290
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:03,960
12%.
Yeah, yeah, I had sort of 11% in

291
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,480
my mind, but I wasn't sure if I
was speaking out of school there

292
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:10,079
that that's a huge amount.
Like we, we talk about it often

293
00:17:10,079 --> 00:17:15,400
in the context of copper and
Cadelco and them missing by you

294
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:20,520
know 50,000 tonnes, 100,000
tonnes and they make up maybe

295
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:25,599
sort of five or 6% of the the
world supply of copper.

296
00:17:25,599 --> 00:17:27,880
So this is just a a whole nother
league of what we're talking

297
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:30,040
about in terms of scale.
There you go.

298
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:32,400
Chop that up into a Twitter
short for me.

299
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:34,560
Someone bloody.
Everyone's been chopping me up

300
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:37,000
and fucking loving it.
Keep it Gavin Alley.

301
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:39,360
It takes the light off Alley to
do it bloody.

302
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:44,880
So look and potentially if they
miss this 2024 guidance that as

303
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:47,560
we said they'll have to for
every thousand tonne they miss

304
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:50,920
it by that's £2.6 million of
either got to draw down the

305
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:54,400
inventory or frigging go into
the spot market.

306
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,240
Remember they've only got 4000
tonne in inventory right now.

307
00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:02,520
So let, let's, and as I've said,
less chance of good chunks of

308
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:05,960
like going for good chunks of
this Kazakh uranium getting into

309
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:08,640
the West for the next few years
because of there's so much of it

310
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:10,760
weighted towards going to
frigging Russia.

311
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:14,000
So, and how's Russia going to
fill the void?

312
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:16,960
Spot inventories?
Who knows?

313
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:21,040
And look, China also approving
bloody at last Monday approved

314
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:24,040
another 11 nuclear reactors
across 5 sites.

315
00:18:24,360 --> 00:18:27,200
Word on the decline.
They're chatting to a lot of

316
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:32,520
parties about contracting
purchase agreements JV, which

317
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:37,800
you know ain't easy because it's
China no doubt, but WNI next

318
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:41,120
conference start of next month.
That's the historical catalyst

319
00:18:41,120 --> 00:18:44,800
when all the big talks are
talking uranium contracting or

320
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,840
and conveniently timed at the
conclusion of the northern

321
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:53,240
hemisphere winter, which is
historically the low period in

322
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:56,520
the in prices and everything.
So now that another random one I

323
00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:58,360
got tipped at the bar and me
shop at lunch.

324
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:02,000
This come from you'd say
Subiaco's biggest U ball

325
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:07,440
conveniently ran into him before
the story you got NVIDIA report

326
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:11,520
in their second quarter FY25
financial results this Wednesday

327
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:16,080
night Aussie time.
So the whole data centre AI

328
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:19,200
thing is it's just that another
piece of information that always

329
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:23,600
has, it seems to have a bit of
an effect on uranium these days

330
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:25,360
as well.
So it's another one to watch out

331
00:19:25,360 --> 00:19:28,400
for coming this week to see what
effect that will have.

332
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:30,800
So.
Super interesting mate.

333
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:32,760
Fuck, what a day job.
Love it.

334
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:35,720
It's been a like a like a
challenging sort of six month

335
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:38,840
period for uranium equities, but
you kind of sensed it that

336
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:42,960
contracting cycle, you know,
now, now the production guidance

337
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:45,200
you kind of, you kind of sensed
that the, the thesis is doing a

338
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:46,320
little bit of a tilt again,
isn't it?

339
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:48,880
Yeah, I'll be and it'll be
interesting to see if there's

340
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:53,280
any short squeezes going on.
If it does get a bit of bloody

341
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:58,600
momentum, who who knows?
Oh, it's a bit down on anyway,

342
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:00,680
the fucking you just, you just
never know.

343
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:04,480
Oh fucking bloody.
Good stuff man, what a die.

344
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:06,120
That's impressive.
What a die.

345
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:11,080
Yeah, thanks Ben Feingold and
art hard and shit for all pretty

346
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:12,400
much copied everything they
said.

347
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:17,960
To to a company that wishes they
were in the predicament that

348
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:25,080
gets out of promise era.
Yeah, they're guiding 0 lbs.

349
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:28,200
And at least their guidance is
unchanged.

350
00:20:28,360 --> 00:20:29,800
Yeah, very true.
Yeah.

351
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:32,200
Be a luxury to be able to
provide guidance for these guys,

352
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,440
but pretty interesting thing has
happened to them today.

353
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:39,080
And for context to anyone that's
like new to the story, they got

354
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:43,760
effectively 2 uranium assets,
Ranger and Jabaluka both in the

355
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:47,960
NT pretty close to each other.
Ranger is a rehab project and

356
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:51,240
there was some hope of one day
developing Jabaluka, which is

357
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:53,920
are being subject to push back
from The Mirage traditional

358
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:57,120
owners for for you know, for a
long time a month ago, the rug

359
00:20:57,120 --> 00:21:01,480
kind of got pulled from those
potential plans one day when the

360
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:04,240
federal government effectively
stepped in to prevent the

361
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:06,800
Jabaluka mineral lease from
being renewed.

362
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:10,000
Should be noted that the that
Jabaluka, you know, mineral

363
00:21:10,120 --> 00:21:13,760
lease gave the mirror people a
veto right of any future

364
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,040
development.
So the, the federal intervention

365
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:18,400
can, you know, fairly be
characterised as actually

366
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:20,280
removing power away from The
Mirage people.

367
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:25,280
And now because ERA is spending
a lot of money rehabilitating

368
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:28,920
Ranger and because this company
is, is controlled by Rio Tinto,

369
00:21:29,360 --> 00:21:31,400
the rehab is expensive as oh
hell.

370
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:34,680
In fact, they estimate there's
another $2.4 billion that needs

371
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:37,560
to be spent on on rehab here
and, and.

372
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:40,840
That's on top of nearly a
billion already.

373
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:43,040
Was it?
Yeah, fuck mate.

374
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:46,800
And The funny thing too is that
2.4 is it's kind of in

375
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:50,160
discounted real terms.
So if you if you look at the

376
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:53,280
actual dollars that will need to
be ultimately spend, it's close

377
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:56,200
to 3 billion.
And and when you when you talk

378
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:59,120
about Jabaluka getting
developed, like for people that

379
00:21:59,120 --> 00:22:02,560
don't know, there is a fucking
decline that has been excavated

380
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:05,680
down to the ore body already.
It's been backfilled, but it's

381
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:09,480
not it.
It was starting to be developed

382
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:12,600
back in the day, which is very
interesting.

383
00:22:13,120 --> 00:22:15,880
And so ERA they're, they're
running out of money fast doing

384
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:18,680
this, this rehab in today's
announcement, they say they're

385
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:22,240
likely to breach their minimum
cash reserve of $50 million in

386
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:26,160
Q4 this year and then and then
deplete, you know, basically

387
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:30,000
deplete the cash near the end of
of this year or the start of

388
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:34,720
next.
So this, this rise was, I guess

389
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:37,640
it was flagged and everyone knew
it was coming up in whatever

390
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:41,080
shape or form.
But it's it it, it's a bit

391
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:44,280
different because everyone just
assumed it it had to be an

392
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:46,520
entitlement offer as per the
previous ones.

393
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:50,680
But the trading halt today is
very interesting.

394
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:52,280
It is right.
It's normally you see a trading

395
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:54,920
halt and a company's in trading
halt because they've launched a

396
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:56,920
capital raising.
But today they're in a trading

397
00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:58,480
halt not because they've
launched a capital raising, but

398
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:01,440
because they're they're
launching a wide base market

399
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:04,480
sounding to seek interest in
participating at a capital

400
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:06,160
raising.
They say they're they're going

401
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:09,160
to need to raise a minimum of
$210 million, but of course they

402
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:10,640
want more than that.
They've got to spend a lot more

403
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:12,760
than that over time.
And in reality, like that's

404
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:15,480
going to be a small drop in the
in the ocean when you think

405
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:18,240
about the remaining kind of
rehab that's required to be

406
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:21,000
spent here.
The other really important

407
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,400
dynamic at play here is, is that
of the shareholders.

408
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:27,480
Rio Tinto has above 86% voting
power in ERA.

409
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:30,840
The balance is dominated by two
other shareholders being Packer

410
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:35,120
and Co and Zentry.
And now as as ERA aims to to

411
00:23:35,120 --> 00:23:37,680
raise money.
If, if, if they can't get enough

412
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:41,160
inbound interest from the the
minorities or new shareholders,

413
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:45,960
then that that would in effect
see Rio Tinto kind of ending up

414
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:49,480
with a potentially greater than
90% ownership of ERA.

415
00:23:50,120 --> 00:23:54,160
And if that happens, Rio Tinto
can actually compulsory rarely

416
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:58,640
acquire ERA at a, you know, at a
price which I'll I'll kind of

417
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:02,000
discuss a little bit later.
And here's the challenge at play

418
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:05,200
for for the minority
shareholders, think of Packer

419
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:07,880
and Cohen's entry.
They either need to stump up a

420
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:11,520
lot more cash to participate
sort of, you know, pro rata and

421
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:15,080
prevent Rio Tinto from from
getting to that 90% threshold,

422
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:19,120
or they need a, you know,
attract others into the mix to

423
00:24:19,120 --> 00:24:22,200
become sort of minority
shareholders alongside them to

424
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:25,520
to, to ensure that there's some
sort of minority shareholder

425
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:27,800
hold out preventing the agenda
from getting that 90%.

426
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:30,200
But attracting others is going
to be difficult because with

427
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:32,720
Jabber Lucas, you know, mining
lease not renewed.

428
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:35,400
What's the what's the investment
case here?

429
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:37,640
It becomes a lot more challenged
and ERA they're they're

430
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:41,600
embarking on legal proceedings
to contest, you know, this non

431
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:43,520
renewal.
But but at a minimum, it seems

432
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:45,120
like a a futile kind of
endeavour.

433
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:48,440
And there's, there's one more
thing that I think is important

434
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:50,960
to mention.
Even though the, the assets

435
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:55,120
might never be developed, Rio
Tinto, they probably have a, a

436
00:24:55,120 --> 00:24:58,720
strong incentive to acquire 100%
of ERA because it lets them kind

437
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:01,720
of consolidate potential
deferred tax assets or tax

438
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:05,480
losses, which you know, can can
sort of be useful to the, to the

439
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:07,880
Headco Rio Tinto.
So, you know, there's an

440
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:11,280
incentive for Rio to to acquire
100% because of some sort of tax

441
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:12,200
efficiencies.
Yeah.

442
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:15,840
And before you get into what
would happen if Rio do get above

443
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:22,160
90%, how interesting would be
this book build going on at the

444
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:27,440
moment in terms of if someone
wants to tip in Ari are nearly

445
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:32,040
the the independent ERI board
are nearly incentivized to make

446
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:37,160
this as dilutionary as possible
to take as much off Rio Tinto in

447
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:41,240
in a way, are they like like
because if someone's willing to

448
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:43,680
tip into this, like the, you
know, the person that wants to

449
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:45,520
tip in the most usually sets the
price.

450
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:47,400
Yeah.
Well, like Rio, will will

451
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:50,040
effectively, yeah, participate
pro rata.

452
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:52,800
That's kind of a given.
So it's really up to, you know,

453
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:58,320
non Rio Tinto shareholders to to
come into the mix or participate

454
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:00,280
pro rata as well.
But you're getting into big, big

455
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:04,280
dollars for, you know, funds
that aren't as big as Rio Tinto.

456
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:08,600
So just getting enough money.
If Rio Tinto participates pro

457
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:11,200
rata and you can't get enough
existing or new money, then in

458
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:13,480
effect Rio's ownership grows,
doesn't it?

459
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:16,200
Yeah.
So if they because is there any

460
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:18,640
like when they're saying the
capital raising like it did it,

461
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:21,560
it doesn't detail that it is
going to be an entitlement

462
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:25,320
offer.
No, but I would expect it to be

463
00:26:25,360 --> 00:26:28,400
an entitlement offer.
I think it's yeah, the the most

464
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:31,840
like, you know, when you're
talking about yeah like a, it's

465
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:35,120
a $350 million market cap and
they're raising 210 like an

466
00:26:35,120 --> 00:26:38,280
entitlement offer sort of makes
sense because you've got

467
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:41,000
placement capacity issues and
all the rest, but.

468
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:43,880
But it'd have to be.
They'd have to be a separate a

469
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:46,320
separate thing to the
entitlement offer to get the new

470
00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:47,080
people in.
Yeah.

471
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:50,120
Oh, now it was the last one they
did was a renounceable

472
00:26:50,120 --> 00:26:52,840
entitlement offer, which meant
that, you know, your Packer and

473
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:57,120
co's could offer some of their
entitlement to other people.

474
00:26:57,120 --> 00:26:59,320
Yeah, but it'll be interested to
see if this one's going to have

475
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:01,840
an entitlement offer component.
If they're sounding the market,

476
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:04,800
I assume there's an actual just.
Yeah, a new one.

477
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:08,800
There's there's a few mechanisms
you can, you can use to, I mean,

478
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:11,360
you can bolt on a placement with
an entitlement offer to bring in

479
00:27:11,360 --> 00:27:13,840
your institutional money or if
it's renounceable, then you

480
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:17,120
know, existing shareholders who,
who aren't going to take up

481
00:27:17,120 --> 00:27:20,840
their full entitlement have the
ability to, you know, then yeah,

482
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:22,680
pass them on to, to new
shareholders.

483
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:25,520
But like.
And I can go out placement

484
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:27,560
because then Rio could just say
we'll take the lot.

485
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:31,520
Yeah.
I mean the yeah, I think a

486
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:33,280
placement's challenged for a
couple of reasons, placement

487
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:37,480
capacity, etcetera.
It's it's kind of interesting

488
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:40,520
though because there's there,
there is a precedent to to talk

489
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:43,880
about here and I want to talk
about what would happen if, if

490
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:45,480
Rio emerges with greater than
90%.

491
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:49,080
If that happens, all Rio Tinto
has to do is logic compulsory

492
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:53,480
acquisition documents with ASX,
Rio Tinto sets the price right

493
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:56,560
of that acquisition.
And all like all they have to do

494
00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:58,720
is attach this independent
expert report supporting the

495
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:01,760
fairness and reasonableness of
the price that they chose.

496
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:05,440
Earlier this year, there was a a
strikingly similar precedent on

497
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:07,120
the ASX.
The major shareholder of

498
00:28:07,360 --> 00:28:11,520
Carawine Resources was Q Gold
and that and they found their

499
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:15,440
way to owning just to slid the
road the 90% of Carawine the way

500
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:19,080
it happened.
In late 2023, Q Gold owned 88.2%

501
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:22,600
of Carawine.
In October, Carawine launched a

502
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:25,840
renounceable entitlements offer.
It wasn't, it wasn't

503
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:27,960
underwritten, but it was just a
renounced full entitlements

504
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:30,480
offer.
Q Gold's subscription to that

505
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:35,760
offer was, was 4.28 million of
the 4.81 million that the

506
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:38,400
company was raising the
entitlement offer.

507
00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:43,320
And the company like that they
only raised $40,000 from any

508
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:44,840
other shareholders other than Q
Gold.

509
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:47,640
So, you know, pretty much people
kind of read the tea leaves and

510
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:50,200
figured there wasn't much of an
investment case to, to, to tip

511
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:52,560
in here knowing that there's a
compulsory acquisition on the

512
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:55,400
way.
And so in effect, on completion

513
00:28:55,400 --> 00:29:00,240
of the entitlement offer, Q Gold
emerged with effectively 90.6%

514
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:03,400
of Carawine.
And just just over four months

515
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:06,720
after the completion of that
entitlement offer, so in March

516
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:10,240
of this year, Hugh Gold, they
lodged its forms to compulsorily

517
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:13,280
acquire the remainder of
Carawine and they simply set the

518
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:16,360
exact same price has the rights
issue four months before that

519
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:18,680
eleven cents a share just.
Backed up by the.

520
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:22,040
Independent expert report You
know fair, fair and reasonable.

521
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:26,000
Now when you compulsorily
acquire like this, there's an

522
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:29,120
objection period where those
minority shareholders they can

523
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:32,160
object if the if the squeeze out
is is deemed to be unfair.

524
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:34,760
This happened in the case of of
Q Gold 38.

525
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:38,280
Shareholders of Caroline have
have objected and but the

526
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:43,360
Corporations Act Section 664F,
it allows for the acquirer to,

527
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:46,240
you know, just apply the federal
court for approval of the

528
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:48,920
compulsory acquisition which
which has happened in the case

529
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:50,920
of of Caroline too.
That's still playing out.

530
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:53,280
But you know, there's mechanisms
to still still get it at the

531
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:54,960
price that you said, even if
there are objections.

532
00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:57,600
So it's still even like they
can.

533
00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:00,320
You're saying the minority
shareholders can object that

534
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:02,440
they're pretty much got fuck all
chance?

535
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:05,920
Yeah, maybe if they've got legs
to to to stand on, if if you

536
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:08,480
know, if it's not fair and not
reasonable that that I think

537
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:11,480
that's where they they might
have, you know, a leg to stand

538
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:14,120
on.
But if you think of the dynamic

539
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:17,120
with with Rio Tinto and ERAI
think a similar thing will

540
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:20,840
probably happen here.
And the, the price that this,

541
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:23,640
this, this capital raise that
they're embarking on at the

542
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:26,880
moment gets done out is pretty
important because I would see

543
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:31,280
that as the, the base case price
that the minority shareholders

544
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:35,320
kind of get mopped up for it.
And given this, I imagine it's

545
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:37,960
going to be like a, a
particularly challenging to

546
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:40,440
incentivize any new shareholders
to, to participate in the

547
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:43,720
capital raise too, Because what
you participate, you know, a 40%

548
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:47,440
discount and then what Rio just
mops up the rest sort of like

549
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:49,440
six months later at the exact
same price or whatever.

550
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:53,560
It's a certainty, right?
It's, it's, well, it's, it's, I

551
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:55,280
think it's downside, but it's
the upside.

552
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:59,480
You know you're.
Yeah, Sentry, they already

553
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:02,960
applied to the takeovers panel
before this had even happened.

554
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:05,760
And the, and the takeovers panel
were like, hang on the the

555
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:07,880
entitlement.
And yeah, you're like, you know,

556
00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:10,960
you're jumping before the gun.
So yeah, I mean, they've,

557
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:13,640
they've kind of showed their
hand and they're they're kind of

558
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:16,480
horrified thinking or knowing
what's going to come, right.

559
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:19,240
And and when you think of like,
OK, what's the independent

560
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:24,120
expert actually going to value
ERA at like there's not much you

561
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:28,680
can build a valuation around
like whatever Rio kind of says

562
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:32,560
is the price might just be for
the price so.

563
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:37,800
And look at the spark chart the
like that was up frigging it's

564
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:40,400
in the ones now.
It was up to bloody like 7 and

565
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:42,160
stuff.
So like if you're just going off

566
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:47,120
the last traded price, like far
out should be very, very low

567
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:48,680
price that this could get done
at.

568
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:51,560
I don't know if it's going to
work like that, but it's.

569
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:54,800
Yeah, an independent expert
could make a a pretty good

570
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:57,080
argument that this is worth
negative money, right?

571
00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:00,960
Like, you've got no leg to stand
on to, right Jabaluka?

572
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:02,400
And you've got a huge rehab
cost.

573
00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:04,360
Yeah, I think so.
I think the, I think the they'll

574
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:07,880
be anchoring to the the rights
issue price and like I honestly

575
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:11,920
just imagine, I'd just imagine
that'll end up being like the

576
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:15,000
price the minorities get up out.
There's the liquidity event, and

577
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:17,800
it's not the liquidity event
that anyone wanted, but that'll

578
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,680
that'll just be the way it is.
I think, I think there's a lot,

579
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:26,080
yeah, bloody politics taking me
by the balls these days.

580
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:29,800
But it's interesting that this
is on the back of NT out of

581
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:34,120
freaking huge swing and the
country Liberals just got back

582
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:36,720
into power.
There's 16 1/2 percent swing

583
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:39,680
against Labour.
So the government's actually

584
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:42,800
just changed in NT.
And then the fact that this got

585
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:46,800
put to the the was it a High
Court appeal or a court appeal

586
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:52,360
for the Labour's plans to
actually put Jabaluka within the

587
00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:55,400
capital, Kakadu National Park
and lock it away forever?

588
00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:59,560
The fact that this court could
actually delay that from

589
00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:03,320
happening now and with the
upcoming election, I think

590
00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:07,480
there's a lot of this is I say
this is very political about

591
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:10,640
what is actually going to happen
here because the political

592
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:13,320
influence over.
Yeah.

593
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:16,680
How this gets dealt with is very
substantial.

594
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:18,240
The royalties from the.
Clocks.

595
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:20,960
Clocks ticking.
Totally, and the royalties from

596
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:24,080
it if if it ever got developed
would like make a huge

597
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:26,440
difference to you know, NT's
budget.

598
00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:30,480
Oh shit, shit, yeah, that was
and the you know, the options

599
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:35,280
that were touted when they, as
you said at the start, when the

600
00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:38,520
pet the power was effectively
taken away from the mirror

601
00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:42,240
people too.
And we saw the the announcement

602
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:45,920
come out that, you know, boss
were offering a lot looking to

603
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:49,280
give a free carried interest to
the mirror people for that

604
00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:52,320
project and the royalties
attached to that.

605
00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:55,400
So there's a lot of there's a
lot of play.

606
00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:57,360
This is this is definitely not
over.

607
00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:02,600
Oh, mate, unbelievable.
It's just, it's, I'll have to

608
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:04,720
look at the actual figures, but
I'll just, you know, everyone's

609
00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:07,560
like Australia's got the biggest
uranium resource in the world,

610
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:10,760
the percentage of what Jabaluka
and Olympic dam contribute to

611
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:13,600
that.
Of of saying we've got the.

612
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:16,880
Biggest uranium resource in the
world because Olympic Dam can

613
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:23,159
only get out as much as they can
get out and this one is a long

614
00:34:23,159 --> 00:34:25,159
long time away if it would ever
would happen.

615
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:28,639
So send me through the figures
anyone, if you got them.

616
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:33,159
I don't think you can call it a.
Resource like in because there's

617
00:34:33,159 --> 00:34:36,679
got to be reasonable grounds for
if it comes part of a National

618
00:34:36,679 --> 00:34:37,840
Park, I think you can't call it
a resource.

619
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:40,480
No, no, exactly.
Yeah, yeah, exactly.

620
00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:42,719
But I think they're just using
using that as a figure.

621
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:46,080
Yeah, yeah, good stuff.
Bloody what?

622
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:49,199
Here's a so for the book build
I've actually got.

623
00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:53,880
I've got an out there idea.
Yeah, this could be so bloody.

624
00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:56,520
Any of the any of the deaths are
listening.

625
00:34:57,040 --> 00:34:59,480
I'd probably this is the phone
call I'll be making.

626
00:35:00,240 --> 00:35:03,000
Cause imagine like considering
all the rehab liability that has

627
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:06,120
to be done like shit, shit load
of dirt to get moved, moved to

628
00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:08,160
fill the pits in and pit one.
There's two.

629
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:11,240
Pits to worry about, Pit one is
kind of being backfilled, Pit

630
00:35:11,240 --> 00:35:13,600
three hasn't requires a lot more
backfilling.

631
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:15,240
Yeah.
So a lot of dirt to me move.

632
00:35:15,240 --> 00:35:20,360
A lot of yellow gear Imagine if
now we know MMS like a good JV

633
00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:23,200
yeah.
So imagine if they did AJV to do

634
00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:29,640
the rehab but then in exchange
for tipping in as a new investor

635
00:35:29,720 --> 00:35:31,760
in ARA as part of the book
build.

636
00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:36,240
So a bit of a move rock for
equity arrangement.

637
00:35:37,720 --> 00:35:40,160
Similar to a drill.
For equity, but now we're moving

638
00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:44,480
rock for equity, mate.
MMS based on what we've seen so

639
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:47,120
far, I don't think this is out
of the question to get them up

640
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:50,040
to bloody Jabberoo didn't set up
a bit of an office.

641
00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:53,040
That's a win, win, win because.
They quote what $2.4 billion

642
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:57,640
rehab remaining if if it was MMS
running the process not reach

643
00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:00,760
into that'll be .4 billion.
Yeah, well, because you think

644
00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:02,760
you're you're.
Doing the equity for rock

645
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:04,360
moving.
So that's that's slashed a

646
00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:09,520
billion off already effectively
and that's probably not the

647
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:13,840
dumbest idea.
I think I would not be surprised

648
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:18,000
if we see MMS pop up on the
register for Ari.

649
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:23,600
So they're going big J VS for
moving dirt in open to get

650
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:26,960
people mining or rehabbing is
what MMS do.

651
00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:30,560
Bloody the desk.
Give MMS a call.

652
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:36,680
I'm a connector JD mate.
You're doing God's work, mate.

653
00:36:37,240 --> 00:36:39,960
Right on, JD.
Get into the bloody all the

654
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:43,720
dollar signs, mate for the we've
got we've got financial results

655
00:36:43,720 --> 00:36:45,640
all across the board.
We're going to start with you

656
00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:47,640
bloody mates of Pilgrim
Minerals.

657
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:50,080
They're not your mate.
They're just a company, but just

658
00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:51,480
just a company.
Just just.

659
00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:53,800
A company full year.
Results today, Cobba.

660
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:55,800
What took you?
What caught your eye?

661
00:36:56,440 --> 00:36:59,320
Yeah, you're dead right, Maddie.
There are some big numbers being

662
00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:02,080
thrown around so that the first
thing that that stood out is the

663
00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:06,760
year on year cash change.
So it was down $1.7 billion to

664
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:10,360
1.6 billion dollars.
So there's three big players in

665
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:12,200
that.
You've got a huge tax bill from

666
00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:13,560
the bumper profit the year
before.

667
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:17,320
You've got a massive amount
spent on CapEx and a little bit

668
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:20,480
on exploration there as well.
That's a plus $800 million

669
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:22,800
number.
And then over 400 million in a

670
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:26,400
dividend that was for the the
period before that came out in

671
00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:30,480
earlier this year.
So the net cash position a

672
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:34,560
couple ways of looking at it
$1.07 billion if you take in the

673
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:36,640
the convertible bonds or lease
liabilities, but what they

674
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:42,240
report is a 1.26 billion net
cash position, geez that the

675
00:37:42,240 --> 00:37:43,760
taxes are.
Rude, isn't it, JD?

676
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:45,680
Oh, it's horrible.
It just.

677
00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:47,760
Kills business, doesn't it?
They want their.

678
00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:50,640
Pound to flesh this government
far out they do.

679
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:51,800
They'll do a task.
Too.

680
00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:53,880
Oh.
We best.

681
00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:55,560
Not get started on this mate,
we'll just get you.

682
00:37:55,600 --> 00:37:58,320
I just get angry.
So the.

683
00:37:58,720 --> 00:38:01,120
The next thing that really stood
out is what happened to

684
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:06,120
underlying impacts.
That was a 86% fall to a $318

685
00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:08,600
million profit.
Now obviously no surprises.

686
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:11,320
We've gone from a period where,
you know, prices were just

687
00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:14,040
insanely great to pretty grim.
That all happened pretty

688
00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:16,280
quickly.
And for those wondering, you

689
00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:18,720
know, if you're not from a sort
of financial bent, maybe from a

690
00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:22,360
operational time per background,
the net profit we're talking

691
00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:25,160
about here, that's a, an
accounting construct.

692
00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:28,640
So it doesn't reflect the actual
cash change in the business.

693
00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:32,520
Only a portion of the CapEx is
captured in that, you know, in

694
00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:35,080
the income statement through
depreciation, amortisation

695
00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:37,160
there.
Hence you can have a a $300

696
00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:42,040
million profit, but the actual
cash change goes from 3 billion

697
00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:45,800
to 1.3 billion net cash.
Very, very good ex.

698
00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:48,640
Explanation there, JD.
Thank you, Matt.

699
00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:49,800
One more.
On.

700
00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:55,080
One more to.
Round out on the earnings side

701
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:57,720
of thing and I think it's all
like one we can kind of chat

702
00:38:57,720 --> 00:39:00,480
about and think about.
So their average selling price

703
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:05,640
was US 1176 bucks a tonne.
They're putting out five point

704
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:10,280
2% product into the market.
So obviously that's pretty much

705
00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:14,760
gone on a line straight down
from June 30 last year to June

706
00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:17,200
30 this year.
And the thoughts of what that

707
00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:20,040
kind of looks like at US 700
bucks a tonne, which is, you

708
00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:23,200
know, close to what they're
probably earning is it's a bit

709
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:26,680
concerning, right.
I think the, the, the writing's

710
00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:27,880
a bit on the wall and it'll be
interesting.

711
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:30,320
I'll get into it a bit later on,
what the kind of consensus

712
00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:33,880
expectations are around your,
your operational earnings for

713
00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:36,120
the year going forward and
beyond that, because there's

714
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:39,600
still a heap of CapEx to go out
over the the coming period

715
00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:44,320
extremely first half.
Wided that number, yeah, I mean

716
00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:46,880
well.
The, the, the operations are

717
00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:47,880
getting bigger and bigger,
right?

718
00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:50,680
They had, they had a bumper Q4
so that the tonnes are getting

719
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:52,280
bigger.
You haven't actually seen the

720
00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:54,920
operating costs kind of come
down enough.

721
00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:56,800
But yeah, I mean, we'll, we'll
get into it.

722
00:39:56,800 --> 00:40:00,000
I want to touch on the, the, the
kind of big news that we saw on

723
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:03,200
the, the financial front is the
new debt facility, so $1 billion

724
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:06,040
debt facility, which they don't
totally need.

725
00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:08,320
You know, they've got 360
million in debt that's from a

726
00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:12,720
government and a syndicated.
Debt facility, but they're a bit

727
00:40:12,720 --> 00:40:14,840
more restrictive.
So what they're essentially

728
00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:16,200
going to do is just pay them
down.

729
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:19,200
They'll have this 1 billion, it
might save them.

730
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:22,800
I'm, I'm sort of estimating here
$15 million a year going off

731
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:24,440
numbers they threw around on the
call.

732
00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:26,880
But the, the key takeaways that
they've got much more

733
00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:29,320
flexibility here.
So this is going to take into

734
00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:32,720
account their net debt and the
previous debt was taking into

735
00:40:32,720 --> 00:40:35,480
account their gross debt.
So you're at an advantage when

736
00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:38,000
you're in a $1.6 billion cash
position.

737
00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:41,000
You're not going to be, you
know, crimped as hard on, on the

738
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:43,520
sides when your earnings might
not be what they were.

739
00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:46,120
And then, yeah, leverage ratios
go all out of whack.

740
00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:49,160
And interestingly, they, they
got asked the question on growth

741
00:40:49,240 --> 00:40:52,680
again and they're, they're not
denying it like I would have

742
00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:54,760
thought after the Latin
acquisition, they say, hey,

743
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:59,040
we're, we're not going to use
this to do any more MNA in, in

744
00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:01,440
the shorter medium term.
But this is now the kind of

745
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:04,000
second opportunity they've had
to say that And they didn't

746
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:06,040
actually say it.
They're like, yeah, we, we

747
00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:08,360
could, it's not our priority,
but it's an option.

748
00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:10,480
So I think just the, the
language and how they're

749
00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:13,080
speaking about that is it's
pretty interesting.

750
00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:15,600
Well, the the fact they're.
Getting a $1 billion debt

751
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:21,000
facility on after doing an all
script proposal to Latin is

752
00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:24,560
pretty fucking be pretty
confident they're keeping

753
00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:28,080
options open to potentially
deploy it if something arises.

754
00:41:29,240 --> 00:41:31,720
Yeah, I think so.
And I, I think it's, it's the

755
00:41:31,720 --> 00:41:34,640
right thing to do in the in the
kind of evolution of the

756
00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:37,960
business as they go away from
the the debt facilities that got

757
00:41:37,960 --> 00:41:40,480
them online and got them to a
company that that's producing to

758
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:43,400
a more corporate type debt
facility that you can see with a

759
00:41:43,720 --> 00:41:45,080
company that has a bit more
options.

760
00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:48,000
And then they progress to earn a
company with a couple

761
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:50,240
operations.
It's kind of that that natural

762
00:41:50,240 --> 00:41:53,240
progression of a company as it
grows, I think looking at like.

763
00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:57,120
You know, I know we talked about
Sigma in the last one and you

764
00:41:57,120 --> 00:42:00,800
draw parallels to to Lyontown in
a way.

765
00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:03,720
I think Sigma's about 15 bucks
at the moment.

766
00:42:03,720 --> 00:42:09,120
Share price was up near 50.
And you know, when they were

767
00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:12,320
trying to sell, like, I don't
know if they were getting offers

768
00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:16,720
around that 50 bucks worth.
But now back at 15, Lyontown

769
00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:20,800
were getting offers from
Albemarle in the low twos that

770
00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:23,480
they were knocking back,
obviously went up to three.

771
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:26,160
And then it all nothing happened
because Gina got involved.

772
00:42:26,520 --> 00:42:31,160
But Lontown sitting at the
$0.80, I reckon they'd take an

773
00:42:31,160 --> 00:42:35,400
offer at 2 bucks right now.
And you would imagine Sigma

774
00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:40,840
sitting at 15, they'd probably
take an offer at 30 that it'd

775
00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:42,680
be, It's just, I think things
have changed.

776
00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:46,240
It'd be, I don't know, Yeah,
interesting to see how the

777
00:42:46,240 --> 00:42:48,400
mindsets have changed by the
deal makers.

778
00:42:48,680 --> 00:42:50,920
But would would.
Lontown.

779
00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:56,120
Even if everyone other than Gina
would accept $2.00 with Gina,

780
00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:57,680
she paid 3, remember?
Yeah.

781
00:42:57,680 --> 00:42:58,920
So you can't get a deal done
with that.

782
00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:02,560
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, I think you spot on.

783
00:43:02,560 --> 00:43:04,280
It's also.
Interesting to to reflect back

784
00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:07,240
to that time.
I'm just going off memory here,

785
00:43:07,240 --> 00:43:11,000
but I feel like Albemarle when
we sort of back solved it was US

786
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:17,760
1900 long term SE6 spot price.
And now I mean I saw a number

787
00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:20,840
being thrown around early today
and backing out the valuation on

788
00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:22,440
Pilbara, we're talking about
1200.

789
00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:24,800
So it's interesting you have
these people as close to the

790
00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:29,880
market as anyone and in in less
than a year the the forecast and

791
00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:31,640
the commodity.
I think it just underlines how

792
00:43:31,640 --> 00:43:34,120
hard predicting commodity prices
is.

793
00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:37,960
You get the people as close to
it as anyone in the world and

794
00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:40,120
you can have a variance that big
in less than a year.

795
00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:41,920
It's it's just something
interesting to observe,

796
00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:45,040
especially in.
Commodities or chemicals there,

797
00:43:45,040 --> 00:43:47,240
if you want to call it.
They're very early in their life

798
00:43:47,240 --> 00:43:50,520
cycle.
Yeah, friggin possible to

799
00:43:50,520 --> 00:43:52,240
predict the thing I'm.
I'm like.

800
00:43:52,240 --> 00:43:55,000
When you talk about Lion Town
too, Maddie like the one.

801
00:43:55,240 --> 00:43:58,240
The one change of control
scenario, I wouldn't kind of put

802
00:43:58,240 --> 00:44:02,000
a line through is, is simply
like, yeah, a, a, a JV

803
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:04,080
acquisition with Gina kind of
similar to you so with, with

804
00:44:04,160 --> 00:44:06,240
Azure.
But you know, yeah, if, if, if

805
00:44:06,240 --> 00:44:09,840
Pilgrim and Gina did AJV and
collectively loved a bid, you

806
00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:12,560
know, you know that, then you
could understand why they've got

807
00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:14,880
a debt facility as well.
Because and, but wouldn't.

808
00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:17,880
You wouldn't you think that that
is what's going to happen with

809
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:21,240
Gina anyway because Hancock
would not want to be the

810
00:44:21,240 --> 00:44:23,440
operator?
Yeah, I.

811
00:44:24,040 --> 00:44:26,200
I would have thought so you're
basically pegging your ground

812
00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:29,360
and saying, look, if you want to
do AJV with me, like happy to

813
00:44:29,640 --> 00:44:31,280
like you're going to have to,
you're going to have to.

814
00:44:31,280 --> 00:44:33,080
So yeah, yeah, yeah, that
that's.

815
00:44:33,760 --> 00:44:36,720
Sounds like a lot more realistic
than it would be that Yeah,

816
00:44:37,560 --> 00:44:38,960
yeah, I mean they'd.
They'd bring the.

817
00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:41,160
Cash they could.
That's definitely happening now.

818
00:44:43,560 --> 00:44:46,080
So I think it's.
It's interesting to look at

819
00:44:46,080 --> 00:44:48,080
these lithium companies because
you talk about how much they get

820
00:44:48,080 --> 00:44:51,640
beaten up, Maddie, about how
they might be open to a takeover

821
00:44:51,640 --> 00:44:55,320
at a way lower multiple or
whatever to what we were talking

822
00:44:55,320 --> 00:44:57,360
about last year.
And you, you look at the

823
00:44:57,360 --> 00:45:01,520
earnings for Pilbara and going
off visible outfit consensus,

824
00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:05,240
we're talking about operating
cash flow of 420 million.

825
00:45:05,560 --> 00:45:11,280
The Pilbara for the FY25 period
now use a a midpoint of 820,000

826
00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:13,360
tonnes, which is what they've
they've guided to.

827
00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:18,680
You're assuming a margin of US
350 bucks a tonne there.

828
00:45:18,960 --> 00:45:21,720
So back of the envelope to kind
of achieve this, you need

829
00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:27,320
lithium prices to jump 3540%
from where we are today and kind

830
00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:30,280
of hold, hold that for the, the
period which we're already a

831
00:45:30,280 --> 00:45:33,160
couple months into.
You know, and you know, you

832
00:45:33,160 --> 00:45:36,080
think about their, their cash
cost they've going off last year

833
00:45:36,080 --> 00:45:40,920
and what they've kind of guided
a bit over US500I mean, the

834
00:45:41,080 --> 00:45:45,680
where we are right now, what I
saw this morning was 770 for 6%

835
00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:48,440
grade.
So what is that kind of 700 ish

836
00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:53,280
for a 5.2% product?
It's yeah, it, it, it's not

837
00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:56,160
going to be a, a very cash
generative next year for the

838
00:45:56,160 --> 00:45:58,960
company because he's still got
roughly 700 million going out

839
00:45:58,960 --> 00:46:01,480
the door in CapEx.
That cash position is going to

840
00:46:01,480 --> 00:46:04,040
fall substantially again over
the next year.

841
00:46:04,520 --> 00:46:07,320
I'll be.
When you're talking about the

842
00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:12,520
the price jump and you know what
catalysts and I'm keen to say

843
00:46:12,520 --> 00:46:14,760
what me and Holland's doing
because their full year results

844
00:46:14,760 --> 00:46:18,240
will be out soon and a bit of
bit of colour on on them because

845
00:46:18,240 --> 00:46:20,480
they're you think of what's
going to change.

846
00:46:20,480 --> 00:46:24,520
It's like, you know, low, low
prices queue a low prices and

847
00:46:24,880 --> 00:46:27,440
whether one how that operations
going.

848
00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:32,000
We don't he had a bit of an
indication before Min Reza's

849
00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:36,520
operations like you know, is
Mount Marion's bloody 4% spot

850
00:46:36,520 --> 00:46:39,320
still going to be getting sold
Like we're just there's a lot of

851
00:46:39,320 --> 00:46:43,760
questions about, you know, pill
pill Gangora is still gone.

852
00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:46,280
Doesn't look like it's going to
ever get a bloody stop, but it's

853
00:46:46,280 --> 00:46:50,240
when other ones, what's going on
with all of them is going to

854
00:46:50,240 --> 00:46:52,600
give a good gauge.
I think so, yeah, definitely.

855
00:46:52,600 --> 00:46:54,320
I think, I think Wesley.
'S come out with their annual

856
00:46:54,320 --> 00:46:57,280
results on Thursday, I think so
hopefully we can get a bit of a

857
00:46:57,280 --> 00:46:59,200
read.
But we've said it, you know,

858
00:46:59,200 --> 00:47:01,400
we've said it once, twice, three
times, like a lot of these guys

859
00:47:01,400 --> 00:47:02,760
still aren't really cutting
back.

860
00:47:03,080 --> 00:47:06,640
So we're not really at that
point where the low prices are

861
00:47:07,080 --> 00:47:08,400
having the effect that they
should.

862
00:47:08,400 --> 00:47:11,200
I think that's going to take a a
little while longer to kind of

863
00:47:11,720 --> 00:47:13,480
run through.
And I'll just finish up with

864
00:47:13,480 --> 00:47:17,600
this one chart that I've saw in
AJP Morgan email This morning.

865
00:47:17,600 --> 00:47:19,760
They checked it out in their
research and they were running

866
00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:22,200
spot numbers through all the
major miners.

867
00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:25,360
So not just lithium players, but
you've got iron ore players,

868
00:47:25,360 --> 00:47:29,680
you've got kind of diversified
miners, gold miners and a few

869
00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:33,240
other in there.
And you can see the, the price

870
00:47:33,240 --> 00:47:39,840
to MPV at spot is 6.21 times it.
It, you know, flashing through

871
00:47:39,840 --> 00:47:43,680
spot has a bigger impact on
Pilbara than any other company

872
00:47:43,680 --> 00:47:46,600
that they threw up in this
analysis by quite some margins.

873
00:47:46,600 --> 00:47:49,720
I think it's, it's quite
interesting to put that into

874
00:47:49,720 --> 00:47:51,800
perspective and think about
this, you know, quote unquote

875
00:47:51,800 --> 00:47:58,000
premium valuation that that
Pilbara gets and you know, it's,

876
00:47:58,040 --> 00:47:59,280
it's still not been shipped
away.

877
00:47:59,280 --> 00:48:04,040
We talk about how grim it is for
lithium miners out there, but I

878
00:48:04,040 --> 00:48:06,640
don't think you've got a massive
margin of safety if you're if

879
00:48:06,640 --> 00:48:09,360
you're going in and buying these
sorts of names, given the the

880
00:48:09,360 --> 00:48:11,280
kind of multiples they're
trading on at the moment.

881
00:48:11,560 --> 00:48:12,720
Yeah, Yeah.
And.

882
00:48:12,760 --> 00:48:16,240
Look, we've talked the big thing
because of their expansion is,

883
00:48:16,240 --> 00:48:18,920
you know, getting unit costs
down trying to survive this

884
00:48:18,920 --> 00:48:23,040
period as you said, when low
prices supposedly going to cure

885
00:48:23,040 --> 00:48:26,360
low prices a lot.
The parallel analogy to that is,

886
00:48:26,880 --> 00:48:31,120
is if you've got Silverstone,
you get more Silverstone.

887
00:48:31,280 --> 00:48:34,160
Like that's, that's a, that's
another bloody thing that

888
00:48:34,160 --> 00:48:37,000
probably Pilbara have got.
They were pretty much got into

889
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:37,560
the.
Call today.

890
00:48:37,920 --> 00:48:39,440
Yeah, they've got a bullet in
the chamber.

891
00:48:39,440 --> 00:48:42,080
There because Silverstone are
already up there so more

892
00:48:42,080 --> 00:48:46,040
Silverstone will cure our prices
as as well.

893
00:48:46,320 --> 00:48:47,920
So I think I think get the
whole.

894
00:48:47,920 --> 00:48:51,240
Team up there.
Just deploy all of Silverstone

895
00:48:51,480 --> 00:48:54,720
to Pilgangora and right, that's
a lot.

896
00:48:54,720 --> 00:48:57,520
Pretty much like 500 bucks a
tonne on the spot price.

897
00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:00,080
They'll be beating those
consensus.

898
00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:02,320
Numbers I was talking about just
before, get them to do

899
00:49:02,320 --> 00:49:03,680
everything.
I mean, there's a lot going up

900
00:49:03,760 --> 00:49:06,960
on up there right now.
They got P-1000, which should be

901
00:49:07,120 --> 00:49:09,640
humming in, you know, 3/4 of a
year.

902
00:49:09,800 --> 00:49:12,440
You want to get there smoothly,
Silverstone, get them on the

903
00:49:12,440 --> 00:49:14,080
job.
Oh mate, the bloody and.

904
00:49:14,120 --> 00:49:16,960
Mate, the emissions intensity as
well like you can, you can save

905
00:49:16,960 --> 00:49:18,720
money.
Tick the bloody green boxes.

906
00:49:18,960 --> 00:49:22,560
Bloody Silverstone solar farm,
Silverstone bloody hybrid power

907
00:49:22,560 --> 00:49:25,520
stations, bloody just
Silverstone survivors,

908
00:49:25,600 --> 00:49:28,480
Silverstone water supply.
Just fuck me.

909
00:49:28,600 --> 00:49:32,120
It's just Silverstone galore.
Up the buses, the EV.

910
00:49:32,200 --> 00:49:33,480
Buses mate.
All Silverstone.

911
00:49:33,480 --> 00:49:35,560
Yeah, Silverstone helps produce
White Rock.

912
00:49:36,320 --> 00:49:38,760
Exactly.
Chuck it on your logo cycles.

913
00:49:39,000 --> 00:49:40,240
Chuck it on.
Your logo More.

914
00:49:40,240 --> 00:49:43,560
Silverstone cures less
Silverstone, you'd say.

915
00:49:44,400 --> 00:49:45,200
You wanna?
You wanna?

916
00:49:45,200 --> 00:49:48,800
Last through this lithium rot
get Silverstone on Don't don't

917
00:49:48,800 --> 00:49:51,000
under don't.
Don't have not as much

918
00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:53,960
Silverstone as you need.
You can never have enough, right

919
00:49:53,960 --> 00:49:56,240
JD?
Who's on the divvies, mate?

920
00:49:57,600 --> 00:50:00,480
I'll try commiserations on your
Yankel Divvy, by the way.

921
00:50:00,480 --> 00:50:04,960
Yes, sorry about that.
So these ones are.

922
00:50:05,600 --> 00:50:08,680
Just from today, so a couple
divvies and a couple capital

923
00:50:08,680 --> 00:50:11,560
returns.
So Remelius one that stood out

924
00:50:11,560 --> 00:50:15,560
there paying a record $0.05
divvy, no kind of secret.

925
00:50:15,560 --> 00:50:17,240
You look at the earnings, they
were really strong.

926
00:50:17,240 --> 00:50:20,440
They're very cash generative
because of what's going on at at

927
00:50:20,440 --> 00:50:24,440
Edna May taking 2 1/2 percent.
Divvy, That's not bad for a

928
00:50:24,440 --> 00:50:27,040
bloody Yeah, I think they were
two.

929
00:50:27,040 --> 00:50:30,360
Bucks eight cents last time I
looked yeah spot on Hillbro

930
00:50:30,360 --> 00:50:33,120
notable that they're not paying
a dividend that's not

931
00:50:33,120 --> 00:50:35,360
surprising.
They did update their Capital

932
00:50:35,360 --> 00:50:38,120
Management framework and it's
you know, it's based on a free

933
00:50:38,120 --> 00:50:41,880
cash flow.
It's based on free cash flow so

934
00:50:41,880 --> 00:50:44,760
no surprises that they're not
paying out any dividends.

935
00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:48,280
Gold Rd they've they've had a a
pretty torrid time of it lately.

936
00:50:48,280 --> 00:50:50,520
They're paying out a half a cent
dividend.

937
00:50:50,520 --> 00:50:53,120
They made under 5 million in
free cash flow.

938
00:50:53,120 --> 00:50:55,520
So disappe pointing kind of all
around.

939
00:50:55,520 --> 00:50:59,120
They've had weather and all
sorts of other disruptions

940
00:50:59,120 --> 00:51:02,040
there.
Standwell's another one US 4.4

941
00:51:02,040 --> 00:51:03,880
cents that they're paying out in
a divvy.

942
00:51:03,880 --> 00:51:06,720
I noticed they also restructured
their debt.

943
00:51:06,720 --> 00:51:08,760
So things are kind of moving in
the right direction.

944
00:51:09,240 --> 00:51:12,040
You got base resources.
They're still under takeover

945
00:51:12,040 --> 00:51:15,000
from energy fuels.
That's, you know, jiggling on in

946
00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:16,760
the in the background.
They're paying out six and a

947
00:51:16,760 --> 00:51:20,560
half cent special TV that was
spoken about a long time ago

948
00:51:20,560 --> 00:51:24,320
when the the takeover first came
forth and Meadows XI think we

949
00:51:24,320 --> 00:51:27,800
got a Ding, Ding, Ding here for
Mr Ricardino.

950
00:51:28,160 --> 00:51:31,400
They've actually got busy on the
on the buyback again, which is

951
00:51:31,440 --> 00:51:35,760
good to say 550, 1000 shares
roughly were bought back.

952
00:51:35,960 --> 00:51:38,360
And what stood out is that they
were doing this at a a higher

953
00:51:38,360 --> 00:51:41,080
price to what they'd previously
paid up to $0.40.

954
00:51:41,200 --> 00:51:42,840
Yeah.
Yeah, exactly.

955
00:51:42,840 --> 00:51:45,360
Up to 40.
Cents so I mean it's it's 220

956
00:51:45,360 --> 00:51:47,440
grand.
It's a a drop in the ocean of

957
00:51:47,440 --> 00:51:48,680
all the cash that they've still
got.

958
00:51:48,680 --> 00:51:50,560
But that was just one day's
work.

959
00:51:50,560 --> 00:51:53,520
So good to see.
And then lastly, you got

960
00:51:53,640 --> 00:51:55,760
Parenti.
They they keep churning away.

961
00:51:55,960 --> 00:52:00,240
They spent 650 grand buying back
680,000 shares.

962
00:52:00,240 --> 00:52:03,160
That's a a programme that's been
underway for a little while.

963
00:52:03,160 --> 00:52:06,360
So good to see some of the the
miners and mining services

964
00:52:06,360 --> 00:52:09,360
companies actually give a bit of
cash back to the investors out

965
00:52:09,360 --> 00:52:10,760
there.
Try it for you bloody.

966
00:52:11,160 --> 00:52:13,320
There was plenty of people that
were devastated.

967
00:52:13,320 --> 00:52:15,480
You weren't here for the for the
Yancarl thing.

968
00:52:15,480 --> 00:52:18,160
Did you want to give a bit of a
recap a week later 'cause people

969
00:52:18,160 --> 00:52:21,160
were wanting to hear your
opinion on what actually I

970
00:52:21,440 --> 00:52:24,800
thought Jay did?
A really fair, yeah, summary of

971
00:52:24,920 --> 00:52:25,880
of it all.
Yeah.

972
00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:29,680
I mean, yeah, I, I don't have
too much to add other then like

973
00:52:29,680 --> 00:52:31,920
it's pretty, it's just, it's
pretty interesting observation

974
00:52:31,920 --> 00:52:36,360
to just say when you kind of
have really, really wild kind of

975
00:52:36,360 --> 00:52:39,320
intraday movement and it's a
readjustment in, in shareholder

976
00:52:39,320 --> 00:52:41,280
expectations.
You kind of a lot of people

977
00:52:41,280 --> 00:52:43,320
owning it for the yield.
Now that yield looks

978
00:52:43,320 --> 00:52:45,760
jeopardised.
And so it's kind of like the

979
00:52:45,760 --> 00:52:48,040
yield investors rotate out and
you've got to sort of

980
00:52:48,360 --> 00:52:50,960
incentivize the the growth
investors to kind of come into

981
00:52:50,960 --> 00:52:52,880
it.
And and heck, you saw like a 20%

982
00:52:52,880 --> 00:52:55,760
intraday movement in a, in a
bloody $8 billion company.

983
00:52:55,760 --> 00:52:59,000
That's pretty, a pretty wild
thing, but you know, it's, it's

984
00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:01,680
not like the, the cash
evaporated, but the, the huge

985
00:53:01,680 --> 00:53:04,680
risk with them has always just
been that do you trust this

986
00:53:04,680 --> 00:53:07,000
management team that this
shareholder group dynamic to

987
00:53:07,000 --> 00:53:10,240
actually make make me as a
shareholder a beneficiary of,

988
00:53:10,320 --> 00:53:14,240
of, of that cash?
And like that, that, that

989
00:53:14,240 --> 00:53:16,120
question continues to be
uncertain.

990
00:53:16,120 --> 00:53:19,640
They've they've, they've paid
dividends at, you know, at

991
00:53:19,640 --> 00:53:22,000
points in their life and, you
know, they've definitely had

992
00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:24,720
periods where the dividends have
been lower than expectations.

993
00:53:24,720 --> 00:53:29,240
But yeah, it's also having said
that, like it's not a terrible

994
00:53:29,240 --> 00:53:33,560
time in the, in, in the, in the
scheme of things to actually be

995
00:53:33,560 --> 00:53:35,240
acquiring some of these these
assets.

996
00:53:35,240 --> 00:53:36,760
You can probably get them at a
pretty low multiple.

997
00:53:36,760 --> 00:53:40,000
And like, you know, I'm a
believer that these phenomenal

998
00:53:40,000 --> 00:53:42,880
assets will kind of command a
multiple rewrite, rewrite over

999
00:53:42,880 --> 00:53:43,760
time too.
Yeah.

1000
00:53:43,760 --> 00:53:47,040
No, because I think what?
We said about and it's

1001
00:53:47,040 --> 00:53:50,160
interesting you say that is like
when will the sign look they're

1002
00:53:50,160 --> 00:53:53,320
gonna there's gonna be obviously
a lot of competition for these

1003
00:53:53,320 --> 00:53:56,320
assets in the sales process, but
there's a lot of competition

1004
00:53:56,320 --> 00:53:58,680
Adelaide multiple MM hmm.
So it's all there's sort of the

1005
00:53:58,680 --> 00:54:01,080
trades each other off a bit in a
way.

1006
00:54:01,440 --> 00:54:02,720
Yeah, I don't, I don't think
the.

1007
00:54:02,720 --> 00:54:07,000
Competition will be as like,
yeah, I I don't think it'll be

1008
00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:09,400
as pronounced as sort of most
sales processes you see out

1009
00:54:09,400 --> 00:54:11,720
there.
It's like good assets 1 needs a

1010
00:54:11,720 --> 00:54:15,800
lot of money to kind of get back
producing, you know, White Haven

1011
00:54:15,800 --> 00:54:17,240
said we're not bidding for it
already.

1012
00:54:17,240 --> 00:54:19,760
So, you know, like they'll
they'll be competition like

1013
00:54:19,800 --> 00:54:22,480
Glencorp will will compete, but
they won't overpay.

1014
00:54:22,840 --> 00:54:26,080
So, you know, like who's the
most likely to overpay?

1015
00:54:26,080 --> 00:54:29,080
Probably ankle, to be honest.
But but even if they overpay

1016
00:54:29,080 --> 00:54:32,080
just enough to get the deal
done, it's probably still the

1017
00:54:32,080 --> 00:54:34,280
Anglo assets, yeah.
It'll probably still be.

1018
00:54:34,400 --> 00:54:37,200
Decent, kind of a decent
acquisition in the context of

1019
00:54:37,200 --> 00:54:39,360
things broadly, yeah.
Is there anything else up for

1020
00:54:39,360 --> 00:54:41,120
sale?
Potential.

1021
00:54:41,120 --> 00:54:42,640
Oh, probably.
Probably.

1022
00:54:42,760 --> 00:54:44,880
Yeah, I mean, we, we didn't
exactly.

1023
00:54:44,880 --> 00:54:48,160
Know it wasn't widely reported
that the Illawarra assets were

1024
00:54:48,160 --> 00:54:50,600
and then that just kind of
popped up right that wasn't

1025
00:54:51,200 --> 00:54:52,920
commonly held.
So there's there are other

1026
00:54:52,920 --> 00:54:55,480
assets around there that might
be a bit off our radar.

1027
00:54:55,480 --> 00:54:57,880
I'd say that could all of a
sudden pop out.

1028
00:54:58,240 --> 00:55:03,120
Where's hags when you know deep?
He'd be in the know, yeah.

1029
00:55:03,120 --> 00:55:05,440
Cheers for the.
Cheers for the support hags on

1030
00:55:05,440 --> 00:55:07,040
Twitter.
He's like a like a bit of biky

1031
00:55:07,040 --> 00:55:09,200
support behind me.
It's a bit of muscle.

1032
00:55:09,720 --> 00:55:11,520
Good on your hags looking after
me.

1033
00:55:12,080 --> 00:55:15,120
