I get what your saying, but let me be clear.. I didnt say sam didn't try, and im thankful he got it over the line in the end.
My main point was in response to Marlon wishing we were involved in ex argos license, and I said there was just one person to point the finger at for that, if one needed to be pointed, which considering the position rkh had, and the opportunities to make it so during the timeline of 15 years, I feel that finger needed to be pointed at Sam.
Italy was a disaster, issues were known when we took it on as the incumbant couldn't get it over the line and thus sam took a risk with the main show (development of sealion) which didnt pan out.. same with Egypt.
Premier was also a disaster and you can see that the market knew it from the moment it was announced, just take a look at the sp graph from then on.
The financial director he hired from easyjet - poor appointment, shown the door as soon as the tax issue became a reality - the next one he hired was an unqualified newbie that did nothing to move us forward for the next 10 years.
Yes he has negotiated SL is over the line, but that can hardly go down as a skillset on his resume as we ended up with circa 190m usd exploration carry and cash to keep the lights on for a few years and a loan for development in return for 65% of the nfb acreage and a circa 60% dilution in shareholding over the years- so we still owe our remaining share of development costs and have managed to keep circa 15% of the nfb and 40% of the sfb acreage in return... masterclass in negotiation.
Please have your opinions, they are just as valid as mine, but make no mistake, the immense value and opportunity within RKH has been sold down the river long ago with Sam at the helm.
That aside.. there is still a massive opportunity here, its just 15% of what it once was.
