goodbye "strong result"?, page-20

Stage 2 is not simply a doubling of stage 1.
You have had the restrictions of the stage 1 pond capabilities explained to you.
You do not seem to understand the length of time it takes for brine to be pumped, limed, evaporated & processed for sale.
This is a chemical processing company, not a tech play, so don't expect expansion to occur in a matter of weeks.
Stage 2 will add 9km2 of ponds to bring total area >14km2.
Effectively the increase in production capacity from 17500tpa to 42500tpa will see a tripling of the original pond system.
If you are so concerned it's probably a good thing you aren't a shareholder.
