Ann: Motor Vehicle Incident in Mali, page-28

For god's sake, why even report this, they are being overly officious with this drivel.

What's wrong with them, just get on with some drilling and some resource estimates (for damn sake, it's the third time we are repeating all these exercises because each board goes through the same processes, and nobody believes what the previous board has done, which says a lot for this industry).

Let's hope none of this board leaves, because we'll go through it all yet again - more money for the consultants.

Why can't these guys just get on and build the damn mine? It's bloody 1,000 miles to a port, get that sorted at reasonable costs and they'll be ok.

At this rate, the mine may (if we are lucky) come into operation in 2027. The last board said we'd have a mine in 1 year from now, in mid 2020, which was also a great big lie, and they must have known it, because they were just timing their own exits to maximize their individual financial rewards IMHO.

What do you have to do for the Mali government to get all the permits? For goodness sake, CE looks like a virile young man, and the Malian minister for mines is attractive - just get the deed done ha ha ha ...
