You may have heard ad-infinitum that I have all my money tied up in OGX ...well I also like to do independent research to try to understand how we can make improvements and support the company and the hardworking management generally.
I spoke to a senior mining metallurgist (consultant) earlier to discuss our project and see if he had any insights.
He has worked for a gold mine in Brazil (not in Goias) for a number of years, and had a number of insights ...but one comment floored me.
He said that over a number of years, they had so much trouble with theft, that eventually they closed the gravity plant and went 100% to cyanide treatment to prevent the potential opportunistic theft.
He said that even security cameras and armed guards did not prevent the continuing theft.
He has a fascinating professional history, and seemed like a hell of a nice guy.
I will take the time to pass his contact information on to management.
I'm sure there is mutual benefit to be gained, perhaps some advisory work.
What do I really think? This may answer lots of questions and lead to solutions.
Let's find out shall we?
Cheers,
SJB
