RE: The Market Has Spoken: Time for a Shareholder Value Roadmap18 Nov 2025 10:15
GQ - I only visit this BB approx once a week, so I’m playing catch-up with the posts. I worked as a Geologist and Exploration Manager for 30+ years in very large FTSE resource companies. We struggled for many years trying to create variations of Shareholder Value Roadmap (SVR) to keep investors happy, but in the end we gave up because the resource sector (more than any other) is impacted by many vagueries of external factors beyond company control. How would KEFI create a believable SVR that accounted for fluctuations in gold price, impact of inflation on CAPEX / OPEX, global stock market bust, political stability in Ethiopia and SA, etc, etc. Having personally attempted this more times than I wish to recollect, I don’t believe it can be done. YES - Harry could waste his time making a PowerPoint slide with aspired milestone dates, but reality is that those dates and milestones will evolve, and the SVR will quickly be redundant. All you need to know is that Harry has provided a firm roadmap for next two weeks, and beyond that, a mine will be built, gold will be produced, and the upside of additional deals and exploration success in Ethiopia and / or SA may occur. That is all I need to know to remain a content investor. I’m always happy to be proved wrong.
