I amvery surprised you have asked me this question. Yoou must be kidding me.

Surely you understand the issues surrounding this management team (I mean the directors), the companys past history and much expanded share structure, the issues around taxes/royalties, limited ore reserves and so far no exploration success to move the niddle, problems operating in Thailand, low to lowish ore grade, development approval delays etc, etc, etc.

The dream from the 2010/11 era is well and truely gone but the memories linger on in some minds making people think the great times can return.

Two years ago or thereabouts I said the road to restart the mine would be long and difficult and people here rubbished me and said we just go and flick the switch on and gold bricks ponk out of the rear of the gold processing plant. I was concerned about refurbishment needs, funding, RSK, Thailand as a mining country etc - all the issues are still there.
