Nigel naturally deserves to stay he has done a good job identifying and drilling the resource and will be very valuable for future operations
But someone else is needed here to handle negotiations in my opinion
I also do wonder whether there are cultural issues eg some cultures may not like Nigel’s communication style
Some cultures do not like overconfidence, perhaps Nigel is perceived as overconfident
Besides that, I want to see a corporate strategist with a strong finance background handle any financing arrangements / FID as well as the cap raise that in my opinion is sure to come, so that there is not a repeat of the pattos raise
