Thanks for keeping an open mind. Can't ask for more, though I could ask that others might follow your lead and try to do the same.
Para 1. agree. Too many listen uncritically to the wrong things. You were correct "potentially" valid, and should be read again, or at least form part of the issues to monitor. And time will tell, especially delays.
Para2. Yes, I have been saying that 3x or actually 2x gain to 30c is possible in short tem, thinking this year. But they won't if there is a level of denial in the leadership team about their limitations.
I will add..the fact it has been 4 weeks and they have made no comment on the difficulties getting through only 14m. My suspicion, they got to 14m and didn't hit the vein and now trying to create a cavern in the hope of finding it. I sincerely hope I am wrong because this will cast a huge pall over the assertions that modern mining techniques minimise issues or make finding new veins easier!
...and yes, time will tell.
