The reality is you don't seem to understand how difficult it is to put these deals together when there is a total lack of interest and investment capital available in the sector. Having been a company director that's built businesses and sold them Im well aware of the scrutiny, legal and otherwise that occurs.
I totally disagree with your sentiment and remain delighted with recent progress and if you care to read top to tail all recent ASX announcements by the company you will understand that they have a few irons in the fire. Who knows how protracted these negotiations might be? That said, as a long term investor and together with the positive gold price ,the GDXJ on a roll, the KAI chart having turned the corner, a pile of cash in the bank post the PLS deal, new highly mineralised ground, an up coming drill programme, a BIF that is a natural extension to the Main Trend, potential royalties, huge permit holdings waiting to be explored and the recent REE discovery its abundantly clear to me that these blokes have been working hard and IMO KAI is a screaming undervalued bargain waiting to be discovered. i accept I may be wrong, however, time is on my side as a long term investor.
In the announcement declaring the scoping Study was to be done, the directors noted that their internal assessments done under the initial guidance of GRES indicated the potential for a robust high value mine.
There is a propensity for day traders, the instant gratification crowd to resort to bashing directors with little or know justification or any considered or reasonable understanding of the challenges that need to be overcome.
As I said, I am delighted with the work and recent outcomes and keeping the share price above those targets is required for over 20 days. If they can do that then surely it will indicate substantial progress. They are not talking about a pump and dump often referred to by dat traders.
Respectfully I agree to disagree with your opinion.
