Aprogerson, yes the future does look good and that's exactly why I'm invested here. I want the growth because it will be key in bringing value to us shareholders.
Where the company currently is and where they want to be are two different things. The market hasn't priced in any targets.
Doing my own maths, theres enough contained gold within the mining permit for the processing plant to last over 15 years. But it's irrelevant as the permit has 10 years left to run.
Current production is less than when they started but that's about to change.
The MRE has actually only increased the overall gold found by 8%. They have just moved the confidence level in ounces to a higher category than inferred.
Tanzania is near term but at least 3 years away and a cost of construction estimate of $30m.
The heap leach, is very interesting because on paper they'll produce X amount of ounces but a 20,000 t pad will require somewhere between 100 - 300 50kg drums of Sodium Cyanide, the number is dependent on how well the Cyanide works with the ore.
They're are in Africa on rickety roads in the the middle of nowhere, I can see logistic pinch points to over come. Sourcing and retrieval will slow down production.
We won't know anything until they expand the operations to fully working.
