It's immaterial in comparison to their pie in the sky prediction of 300,000oz, which in the last announcement was pushed back a few more years (decades?) by way of the "more gradual build up" statement. By then JF and TW might have kicked the bucket so there's be no need to vote them off the board. I can't believe that the CTO response is acceptable to the ASX.

5000oz this quarter gets them to 12k for the year, not even half the target. I don't hold out hope of them getting to 50k next year either. Personally I'd be happy if they came out with a little honestly and said 20k. Set yourself a goal that's actually achieveable - learn to crawl before trying to sprint.
