Ann: Al Wash-hi Majaza Copper Project Update, page-94

What I don't understand is why the TAILINGS filter press not working optimally is even being allowed to hold up production - if we are on a slow build up of production anyway then does it really matter if we don't quite get the last 2 litres or so of water out of the tailings before sending them to the tailings dam? Its the Middle East for gawds sake - let evaporation take care of that and get on with production - its not affecting the quality of the concentrate so get some shipments out the door and increase shareholder confidence! Gawd knows what Trafigura and the Omani government think about these delays? The whole thing seems like it is being run by an engineer seeking perfection instead of an engineer seeking production!
