INDEPENDENCE NO MORE, page-43

Hi Slugga and fellow s/h's.

I sent an email to JP about any impact of the CV on drilling and this is his reply:

"the St George team are all well and ready to commence our drill programme.

The disruptive impact of the Coronavirus pandemic on our industry is escalating - as it is for the general community. We are seeing reduced supplies (e.g. food) in the Goldfields. Travel restrictions and new social distancing rules are also creating logistical challenges.

We are monitoring developments on a daily basis and implementing disease management plans to protect the welfare of our staff and service providers.

We can’t rule out that we may be forced to adjust our drilling schedule as developments unfold."

Thanks to John for his reply. I have a very high regard for John (and I have compared him previously to, IMO, our best ever CEO, Mr Richard Goyder of WES) and this just shows how fortunate we are with him as our CEO.
