RNS25 Jun 2020 12:25
Have to say that today’s RNS is another example of SAV missing critical targets by a huge margin. The Portugal DFS was loudly trumpeted as recently as September 2019 as Being due for completion in H1 2020. It’s now been put back to H1 2021. This is a shocking miss and follows a pattern of badly missed deadlines, often by years. The main issue I have with this is that it requires investors to hunt through old updates looking for original targets if we want to keep abreast of progress. Instead of an RNS saying, for example, “Because of the extra work needed on the EIA, the target for completion of the DFS has moved from H1 2020 to H1 2021”, we just get an RNS breathlessly promising a DFS in H1 2021, creating the impression that everything is ticking along nicely. I find this slippery, especially as it also fails to state what implications this has for previous assertions that shareholders won’t be called on for more funding. An extra year of operations without a cash call?
And Oman? I know that investing requires patience, but, jeez, come off it!! How long is that review going to take?!
