Trust Issue - FASO15 Oct 2024 07:45
From the 7th October RNS we learnt RRR had discontinued its relationship with Riverstone and Mr Sam and were tellingly told and this is key “Riverstones were unable to provide equipment on site” . Our new partner is Grey point and Mr Michael Billings, has to start from scratch and has just 14 days (6 left as I type ) to procure equipment negotiate with supplier’s and manage logistics.
This is ridiculous as is the new target date of production in 2024.
More importantly re the trust issue that have always permeated RRR and Andrew. All these official statements made through RNS seem false.
