CJ, as you said, it’s difficult getting any mine up and running but to get to peak production 70-80k tons per month in 18 months is astonishing.
Yes there’s been delays, yes maybe over optimistic timelines too, but you cannot deny it’s been a superb effort all around considering.
I think a lot of onlookers and investors have either overlooked or been blind to the fact that our strategy from IPO was led by AW and MBU and especially on the financial side.
There was definitely a sea change when the new CFO who has expertise of building resource companies came onboard and that led to reshaping the company policy from running our own HWMs (which was going to be the case after buying the 2nd one)and hiring the yellow metal and contractors to the opposite of keeping Mega running the mining and BEN owning the yellow metal and all the ancillary work and workers, so we can set the timeline.
A lot has changed since the IPO and lots of it has been the source of much discussion and debate on here and elsewhere as people scrutinised every decision.
Well the MBU debate can now be put to bed too.
It seems with every debate trying to be negative about BEN, the company manages to answer but it’s never enough.
No doubt some negativeers will be deep diving into the accounts of the new investor looking for any reason to spout nonsense.
0 tons per month to 80,000 tons delivered per month from June 22-June 23 and capacity production but for done it’s not enough.
Well it can’t get any better than that apart from the coal price rising, so if you aren’t happy then you never will be I’m afraid.
