The use of the contractor was part of the deal to buy Challenger in the first place.

They paid a million up front as part of a joint venture with PYBAR's subsidiary Diversified Minerals. They then paid 9 million to buy out the joint venture partner Diversified Minerals. Part of the deal appears to be that Diversified's parent company, PYBAR, would be the underground mining contractor.

The mining contractor fronted up the case to buy Challenger, then sold out their half to WPG but stayed on as the contractor.

Shotgun marriage that didn't work out.

See announcements.

Challenger (announced on 11 December 2015) between related parties of WPG and Diversified Minerals Pty Ltd (DMPL).

Ive reviewed Tarcoolas current resource and the grade they believe they have consolidates back to the DFS with a better life of mine strip ratio. The satellite pit at 3 grams per tonne gold has to be profitable. This is the main reason I remain a holder at this stage. They have almost 3 years worth of production at 20,000 ounces annually from the remaining Tarcoola pit. I have my doubts on challenger still until I see byrnecut turn it around for us. This is also why I’m not a buyer at this stage but have sentiment set to hold.
