Agree wholeheartedly with those sentiments concerning Ian C.
Ian has his hands full at present with his commitments to ALK and the three prong focus of contributing to running Tomingley , the Tomingley extension planning and exploration programme , and of course the Boda exploration .
That said ..IC';s technical expertise on Toongi and the chemical operation of the KMP is /was invaluable ...and whilst he can still be called upon to offer "technical advice" , it doesn't carry the same weight ( or responsibility) of having an active Director's role . Sorely missing !!!
What continues to irk me , with the likes to todays'Announcement , is the lack of detail .
Surely , the Bell Potter people would have more specific details to convey to the Placees , of exactly how it is expected the $30 M will be split/contributed to the four "focuses" given ( see below ) ....and , if the $10 M sought in the SPP is raised , further allocated pro rata accordingly .!!!!
Shareholders are entitled to know ..and the ASX should ask ( not that they will !!!) .
Exactly where is the bang for the buck , going ! Whats going into securing raw materials for the KMP , versus whats going into early work on roads/ bridges/ railway at Toongi ...just Consutants 'fees ???
I know Ian C is a very good Director and a stickler ( internally ) for detail ...and I suspect if he was still on the Board , some of these details would have been fleshed out and made publicly available in theis Announcement .
Substance V Form ...given clarity , something shareholders should not only be entitled to , but expect !
