I m not buying this Newmont need to go to the drawing board for their input to mine plan - plenty available for them to indicate a DTM and FS (work out the issues); move it on. I get a tad nervous when our JV partners p*ss fa*t about and drag things out; just like our mates Newcrest did.
And while they are doing this circa 150 mil of our companies value has been lost since the 4th of December.
The takeover is done now and they have enough expertise to wrap this up. If they have not done so by April then I think it is time to force the issue. Put up or shut up.
Maybe I should have made myself a tad clearer on my reference to codswallop as it was used in general terms to your overall issue with directors having to have skin in the game. You make a mute point as to why they should and only hang your hat on the fact that they do not.
In the grand scheme of things your point is irrelevant.
