Do we know how much production material they've put through though. I was under the impression the 1 gram per ton was because they'd been processing all the development material while testing and fine tuning the plant.
Whatever is the case, it does sound bad, and like you @jasmac , I'm a bit shocked at how things have turned bad so quickly. Normally I would have sold due to the drop but because there'd been absolutely no news I held on. Like you say @charliek , a lot of people must have got the memo. Stinks.
