What a load of absolute sheet.
The scoping study is 5 months past it's original intended launch date and they failed to give numbers.
Worst case the spent 5 months searching for a way to not show capex, best case gross incompetence they spent 5 extra months on this and still completely buggered it up.
The fundamentals have not been enhanced because there are no fundamentals.
Please if there are fundamentals to this play please tell us all what are the fundamentals and how have they been enhanced? be specific don't hold back.
Your post is garbage, it's a joke you say it's investors expectations that were the problem more horse sheet.
Investors were promised a scoping study a scoping study when done properly includs capex and opex numbers, there was nothing out of line with CLA investors expecting to see those numbers.
Today has not to do with CLA investors and everything to do with CLA management it's a complete cock up there are no "enhanced fundamentals" or anything else you are shilling, you post is whats wrong with the asx and hotcopper, everything is always a ramp.

You got the Feasibility Studies (PFS/BFS/DFS) confused with the Scoping Study. A Scoping Study in mining is never
required to have CAPEX nor OPEX estimates, although some companies can include it. Check those links I gave as reference. They are engineering companies describing their Scoping Study activities, and none of them mention the
need to show Capex and Opex, not even estimations.
It makes sense because any number given in an SS would be so inaccurate, it would have almost no value (except to calm the cowardly investor's nerves). This is simply because the proper study to produce those numbers (ie. Feasibility Study) has not yet been done.... how the hell can you expect to have real numbers??!
You want OPEX? How are is the company going to Operate? Do you know which flow-sheet going to be used? Don't know yet? Then how the heck are you going to give an OPEX (Operating Expenditure) estimate?
You want CAPEX? Again, what flow-sheet are we going to use? Type of mine?? Don't know? Then, tell me how you can give a worthwhile CAPEX estimate?
See how dumb it is to be demanding CAPEX OPEX numbers in an SS? You're literally asking to be lied to!
I personally think CLA is being punished for not showing the estimates simply because the
stupid market has lost all sense of courage or optimism after an entire month of bad losses on sharemarkets.
