Ann: Operational Update, page-36

I like this Ann. Always remember the photos of the of NSL'S antiquated mining equipment and wondered how the old trucks would ever hold up under the daily grind of continual use. For me, updated mining equipment is every bit as important as a healthy mill plant. After all, what's the point of having a mill if you don't have a reliable way of feeding it? This might have been a major factor in the delay for phase three.

Having spent many years around earthmoving contractors, and the huge capitol outlay needed for buying reliable plant, I'm also buoyed by the fact that a contractor has enough confidence in NSL to outlay money for new machinery. Big thumbs up from me.

With a workforce gaining experience and earthmoving contractors coming on board, might phase three be gaining momentum? Hang in their guys, the mothership if generating steam.
