Given cd's background on page two of the report,something has clearly gone awry.
I can accept some missteps,but there would appear to have been a litany of them.
Frankly the appointment of Robert Mencel would appear to be one of the "highlights" of the year,among-st many lows..

The other "high" would be the emergence of the finance package.
I would like to have seen a comparison flow chart,where we will achieve a circa 50 percent improvement on the existing name plate production, given the "marginal capex " to acheive this.
IMHO it behooves cd to offer up a mea culpa, perhaps even a maxima mea culpa.
The wage bill,given limited production is a glaring example of extremely poor management.
There would appear to have been a complete disconnect between VXL personnel and the Sth Australian government over the Uley mine and its operating and environmental procedures.
One should have had every confidence that quite the opposite would have been the case.
Evidently the board thought they could cut vital layers of management from the payroll,while achieving the appropriate milestones to get the mine into production,it would seem the opposite has occurred.
As they say " penny wise and pound foolish ".
The board should take ownership of the comedy of errors,draw a line in the sand,so we can all move forward in unison to around April next year.
