IMO, there is still a good chance a deal will be done. LLL accepts or should accept that Mali moves at Mali pace - never a rush. LLL have been hiring not firing.. No senior staff have been jumping ship. If things were going really badly we could expect to senior staff jumping ship. The fact that no information is leaking indicates a strong management team committed to completing the project Lack of communication spreads fear and causes negative thoughts. Mali are playing a tough game but LLL have dangled a lot of $ to get this sorted out. What is the result for Mali if this situation is not sorted out?
