This is exactly my concern Sakura. It is now 5 months since the drill commencement RNS and I suspect that this is hurting the share price.
FWIW I am not concerned about Trump's impact on the La India gold project in Nicaragua but I do have concerns about Dupax.
Elements of the local community are clearly against mining at Dupax as is evidenced by the protests and the destruction of at least one piece of plant equipment. I am not surprised that there is local resistance. Trucking of Dupax ore to a processing plant 20km away is going to impact the tranquility of the environment and upset local communities. If the ore volume was even a modest 1000 tonnes per day with 30 tonne payloads, that's 66 truck drive-bys every day. Imagine that noise, dust, pollution and road damage going through your own village?
If things were progressing well at Dupax I am confident we would have been told all about it. Contrast the excellent newsflow from La India with the lack of news from Dupax. So, Mr Bowden, you're obviously a very capable guy, how about an update with full transparency about what's been happening at Dupax for the past 5 months? Warts and all. I think you owe it to shareholders.
