What a difference a week makes. On Friday July 26, sandstone play ChongHerr Investments (ASX: CDH) rose 333 per cent despite having no news.

But last Friday afternoon the ASX inquired into its finances when it estimated outflows of $160,000 this quarter but it only had $56,000.

The company said it will be able to fund its operations in the interim with its major shareholder agreeing to provide unsecured loans if necessary.

But it had three further reasons why it did not expect negative cash flows to continue. First, it was negotiating with unnamed companies it had partnered with before.

Second, it was seeking to sell one of its quarries and was currently talking to potential buyers.

Third, sandstone traditionally sells more in the second half of the year – hence sales should pick up.

“CDH expects to continue its operations and meet its objectives based on the strong networks of business and good relationship with its business partners,” said CEO Densen Liu.

The company owns three mining leases in Queensland’s Lockyer Valley. The company says its product, “is renowned for its strength, durability, texture and its broad range of colours”.

The company has been unchanged since its quadrupling last month.
