I suppose when his secretary has a cold and has to take 3 days off work that it will put the project back 3 months also. You would really have to question if the management are up to the task as all they seem great at doing is putting the first mining date back all the time or maybe it is being used to cover up a delay in funding.

How about they surprise us and bring it forward. If this happened in Oz I would imagine the company would be bombarded by mining services companies wanting work and I cant imagine it is any different in South Africa.
