Re: Today's SENS....Wishful thinking on my part....Here's hoping that Nedbank become represented at board level...One of their analysts was asking governance related questions at the investor roadshow much to the dislike of Ms Van Galen or maybe she just wasn't prepared adequately..?
Anyone need a heads up...!

Morning Geko
Yeah you're quite correct in that they can supply in the interim, I doubt at full price, while they sort out the 51% black ownership issue.
The uncertainty is how do they sort that out. From what was said at the investor road show & results presentation Eskom will purchase their coal but only on short term 12-18mth contracts the longest that they have I think is 5yr from Khanyisa & Intabane hence the acquisition of adjoining properties.
Selling to Eskom on any new contract is subject to being 51% black owned all existing contract terms still stand.
Basically Wescoal is wanting a life of mine contract with Eskom for Elandspruit which is there for the taking as long as they conform to Eskom demands. So now how do they get to 51%....That's the drag on the share price now.....I'm sure there is still strained negotiations behind the scenes for us minorities to get better representation at board level just gotta wait for the AGM now that's the next opportunity for us to get answers to our questions.
Maybe you already know all this but it's all I got the rest is pure conjecture on my part.
Have a good day further.

Re: Today's SENS
Especially like the comment detailing start up on time & within budget
Hi Soutie,
I would have expected the price to move a bit on the back of this, the successful wage negotiations etc... Or is the big concern still whether they can actually sell this product - namely the Eskom contract? If someone understands this a bit better please provide some detail. I thought that they had been given time to sort this BEE percentage out and they could supply in the meantime or is this not the case?

This is one of the key issues surrounding Anglo's refusal to kick start their Key Largo coal project, which is specifically set up to supply Medupi throughout life of mine.
The DMR regulations when coupled with Eskoms regulations creates an area of stupidness 26% black owned to mine 51% black owned to supply Eskom. So what does this really do IMO it creates an opportunity for another entity to provide a black service in this case at the expense of the tax payer. WSL don't have the resources nor the spare cash lying around to make this happen so they have committed their intent to Eskom & are winging it in the meantime hence market uncertainty. So stated already here they need the Eskom long term contract to boost their future earnings & release approved funding but Eskom are playing hardball at the moment.Catch 22. So if Zuma/Rob Davies wishes to create a new era of black industrialists Mr Ramite is right there front & centre. Yes frustrating isn't it.....

How can they possibly determine the % black shareholding, if it doesn't state on your share certificate what your race is, so they want a major BEE partner together with the Director at 51%?? Who says WSL isn't already 51% black owned, this is so stupid from ESKOM, they should rather focus on providing electricity in the first place and then on their suppliers BEE scorecard. Mr Ramite, just go buy a watch at Cartier and give the ESKOM manager a present, much easier.

If Wescoal is currently at 31% BEE (not sure if they counted my shares ) and needs to get to 51% to unlock Eskom contract, how will they get there?<br />Are we possibly in line for rights issues or will the chairman simply keep buying on open market?
That's the uncertainty surrounding WSL now....just how will they achieve 51%...If Mr Ramite keeps buying he will reach a mandatory threshold whereby he becomes obligated to make an offer to minorities I think it's somewhere around 36%....?
I'm not sure how much support there would be for a rights issue to fund an outside or even inside BEE partner. However a rights issue to buy another mining operation which would take us to the 51% I would support.

In my personal opinion this stock will eventually go up and you will see the rewards if you hold for another 2 years
However the opportunity cost is not worth it - you could turn the same cash numerous times on other deals and make far more money.
