my issue with the grade is that our AISC has blown out, and unless we increase the grade to +- 2g/t we aint going to get 50kpa out of the mill
in fairness we are rising to 1.8g/t in year 4 of current LoM, but we still have this year next year at +-1.3
the current year 5 and 6 are also dubious grades at the moment.. though its not fair to be overly judgemental on it becuase they havent had a chance to work the ground yet at McP and im sure it will be improved upon
We also have more at Jaurdi that hasnt yet been added to LoM

You raise a fair point on soveriegn risk.. but GMcG is a cluey bloke and with so much skin in the game I think his judgement is fair to trust
