Metals Exploration (MTL) has announced results for the first half of 2021 showing it generating cash and that access to further resource is being developed.
Gold producer in the Philippines, Metals Exploration (MTL) has announced quarterly results, including noting production challenges but also that it believes it is well placed for the second half of the year.
Metals Exploration (MTL) “is pleased to announce its quarterly results”, so why have the shares responded to trade lower at below 1.5p?
Operational and financial struggles have meant Metals Exploration (MTL) has been a long-term dog. That is why its shares are so cheap. But the world has changed. It has, the other day, now followed an October debt restructuring with an update boasting of record quarterly production and sales, which, as it becomes understood, suggests a dramatic share price recovery is on the cards.
“With one bound Dick was free.” Not quite. But Metals Exploration (MTL) looks to be well on its way to overcoming its many travails and the company chief, Darren Bowden (not Dick Barton) is very excited about the year ahead.
Given up for dead when the shares were suspended last March Metals Exploration (MTL) has leaped to life after a financial restructuring and shows every promise to deliver real returns to shareholders.
My apologies for what now looks like being a zero of a tip. I hope that folks lost patience last June when the word from the debt markets was that the banks had run out of patience and a share suspension beckoned.
I apologise. I was wrong. It’s crunch time for Metals Exploration (MTL), the Philippines goldmine, whose deadline for renegotiation of its bank loans is at the end of this week. The moratorium on the loans has been extended twice and the word in the debt market is that the banks, HSBC and BNP Paribas, have run out of patience.
Metals Exploration (MTL), the gold producer in the Philippines, has announced an agreement to reschedule payments of $63.3 million to its bankers, HSBC and Paribas, concluding on 31 December next year.
Okay I have not always called Metals Exploration (MTL) correctly. But ten days before Christmas I suggested punters looking at Metals Exploration should, in the immortal words of Perry Como, catch a falling star and put it in their pocket. Since then the shares have nearly trebled.
Catch a falling knife, more like it, you might say applies to investment in Metals Exploration (MTL) where I admit that my buy tips/average down advice to date has not enriched anyone. What a never ending fuck up and yet, having got it so badly wrong I still haven’t given up hope. “:Bonkers,” you say, especially after the shares slumped 90% last week after an institutional holder, believed to be Blackrock, dumped its entire holding of 68 million shares at just 0.2p.
My last update on Metals Exploration (MTL) was greeted with a yawn and, such is the credibility gap - for the company if not my commentary on it as this has been a duff share tip - the shares have yet to add any lustre to the gold coming out of the ground. Yet along with year end figures last Thursday the company has confirmed that its BIOX treatment plant, after so many hitches, is now working fully up to speed.
Having stumbled badly on my, hitherto disastrous, share tip for Metals Exploration (MTL) in the summer of 2016 I stuck my neck out - correctly as it turns out - at the beginning of this month by a renewed tip for the accident-prone Philippines gold producer.
Hope springs eternal in the human breast though it has been tested to destruction for those who ever invested in gold miner, Metals Exploration (MTL). In the late summer of 2016 I thought the worst of iis woes were over. I was wrong for which humble apologies.
