comp to name date of first mco gold pour, page-36

It appears a key source I tapped was out of the picture (AS SALES BLOKES OFTEN ARE) and being not as informed as the guys installing the MCO mill at the cutting edge....I thought I should scrounge further....

LETUCE, LIKE YOU I HAD THE SIMILAR SUSPICIONS IN THE BACK OF MY MIND?????

I APOLOGIZE FOR RELAYING THE INTEL TOO SOON!

AND LIKE A GOOD OLD RETIRED JOURNO, I CHECKED THE FACTS FAR MORE CAREFULLY....... and more interestingly.....?

I got through to Nick Garling and he warned me against expecting miracles too early.

He said an update is out soon, "and it's only fair that everyone gets that info at the same time. "

He said Gekko and MCO and others are "working their rings off right now to get the whole set up operating right and at its designed capacity and output.

And in his view, although he can see the desperation around bar #1, he's more focused on bar #26 and bar #73 as he's "trying to build a stronger for longer company not a flash in the pan."

He said he "wants to grow MCO into a bigger quality business and not have a first across the line approach all the time.

He said they "have strong financials now, committed large partners and very good people involved on a number of levels both staff and contractors, and although he's as disappointed as anyone else that we are late on the gold, it's coming! ....
