My understanding is that it's GF's responsibility to run/manage Gruyere -- please correct me if wrong. Perhaps they should shoulder the bulk of any blame over mantenance and communications, ie. GF controls communications flow. I don't know their oganizational structure,

The POG lately, by far, has caused the GOR sp to slip, not plant issues.

I can fully appreciate the criticism by some of GOR. There have been, and always will be, maintenance problems. "Proven" geology, well tested metallurgy ahve both failed, neverming cement-head management. This is not the case here. A producing mine is complicated mechanical, electric and electronic operation. I know bearings from playing with them as a child. Maybe the failure's length was a confluence of poor parts, poor mechanics and poor oversight -- I don't know. What I do know is to date GF built it (one delay?), and have maintained it very well.

As always keep an eye on news. To those choosing to sell, good luck (maybe keep a parcel because you may be wrong -- your call).
