RE: VSA - note on Q49 Feb 2022 14:15
As far as I can see Rp, the target was missed. 1,000 oz wasn’t achieved, production rate going towards that apparently was. Not great, but not the end of the world
My take on it, if the company hadn’t came out with this “1,000 oz December” target, and from September targeted 24,000 oz within 12-18 months, I believe today’s reaction would have would have been better received. If you produce 569 oz’s in September, and 3 months later in December you increase that to 870 oz’s, that’s progress. That’s brilliant progress. Something telling me that they’re working hard for that 2,000 oz a month long term goal. Without being hell bent on hitting 1,000 oz in December, you’ll realise that they are heading in the right direction and today is not “bad news”
Will it stop the company in the future making these ambitious, short term goals, potentially. They’re an ambitious board, driving for results quick but these are targets from the board, not shareholders. It may be a little more relaxed moving forward with targets, but the increases and growth should impress a little further
Need to hear from the company. Nairobi listing, not a major tick on my priority list, but what was expected to be completed in Q4, is now due for Q2. Could be purely down to admin work but another target missed. Bring on the assays. All good from where I’m sat. Improvements to be made, more oz’s to be produced and a work in progress which we now know will not be plain sailing. Support the company on the journey and realise this is just the beginning.
