1Sun Tzu, I agree with you, that Paul Summers has done a great job to right the ship in what one can imagine was an internal struggle without losing dignity given responsibility he had to take for others and dealing with left field events such as Covid at a critical time. We don't know what occurred in house, but its a clean slate now, from a management perspective and we can move on.

I have to say, there is plenty of evidence from remarks by Prof Collerson which economists can extrapolate upon by way of preliminary estimation due to the scale, depth and deposit type which points to cheaper extraction; and as you referred to, worth literally billions in the ground without the gold. Worth more now? I think the market understands this, wealth has been transferred despite the mixed messages some posters contribute without real understanding of the geology or economics, but relying on hearsay. Opinions are welcome though, because by testing it, discussion establishes facts. The more data we get, the better managers we become.
