1 Any JV PCI are permitted to make with any other operator would not require a new contract. The terms of their existing contract allow for such a JV providing PCI retain at least 51% of their interest (i e of their 75%)
2 Their onward exploitation contract is also covered by the terms of the current contract.
The new HC law will not impinge on either of the 2 issues above.
Any shareholder with misgivings would be well advised to contact or email PCI. Its the least the shareholders are entitled to at this point.
I repeat my earlier post. Its high time PCI delivered a comprehensive update to us all, brokers, financial press and shareholders.
As regards the SP.. it is clear to me that there is a major campaign to depress the share. I suspect it is more than your normal 'shorter action'. I would not be surprised to see the share bottom out relatively suddenly, with some hefty hedge fund size purchases getting in for the long ride up.
