Looking for:
-2,500 oz for Q4 - which would be a very successful quarter
-Looking to hit or certainly get close to 1,000 oz a month in December. Just something which shows the market the gradual progression
-Looking for a month on month increase from September, which had a fair amount of downtime so you’d expect this
-looking for a lower total costs per oz - expected to lower around $100 per oz by switching to grid power (although try to remember this happened half way through the quarter so it may not fully reflect instantly). Also a few hundred $s lower with no machinery or plant upgrades. The company in the last update stated they believed Q4 would be more reflective so hopefully the majority of costs and upgrades where completed in September. If the company continued to upgrade the mine and certain areas, the costs could still be high, but this is fine and ties in well with the long term goal for Kilimapesa. If not we could see costs as low as $1300-$1400 an oz which would be fantastic. And would give $400-$500 per oz profit.
-Looking for details of the Heap Leach pad. The AISC for this I think should be much lower. I know this doesn’t tie in with Q4 performance but it’s an ideal opportunity to detail this to the shareholders. How long until it’s online. With 400 workers, have they already prioritised this and they’ve began building the pad already.?How many oz’s they’d like to get from it too
-Any indications of when and if the plant will have downtime when they come to installing the second ball mill, but as it’s still in Nairobi we may still have a bit of time
-Grade of the ore heading towards the plant. The right mix in ROM and higher grade material being sent to the plant, would put less pressure on maintaining a high TPD value. Although this value will hopefully soon be around the 1,000 TPD mark, on a consistent basis
These are what il personally be looking for. We all want the share price to go up from here, and to be quite frank, the market cap is a bit of a joke at the minute, but it is what it is and you have to accept that. As long as the company can deliver on the above for me, il be more than satisfied. If for whatever reason we’re hit by a poor market reaction but theres clear evidence of growth and progress in Kenya, il look forward to the future.
Very excited to see the progress and no matter what the outcome in share price, if the company have stuck to their end and smashed all of their targets, you have to support them 100% along the way in the journey. The good times are coming, it could be tomorrow, it could be March or it could be August, but it’s a unique opportunity to be a part of something special, at such a low market valuation. Enjoy :)
