No I won't be unblocking just yet. Maybe tomorrow, lets see.
You two are a right pair of Eyeores: what you are doing is called Nelsonian Knowledge. It is based on Nelson putting his telescope to his eye patch and saying he can see no signal. That is, deliberately avoiding reality; US politicians use it all the time." I have seen no evidence to suggest any such thing". What they mean is that they know the evidence exists and is there but they avoid seeing it so they can pretend it doesn't exist.
The kit that was being moved out April was kit belonging to Sam: they were concentrators and at various times, it was suggested that is was 12 or 16 or 20 concentrators. Sam would not let his kit land without his Indian staff being there to receive it. RRR still has a presentation on its website modelling up to 16 concentrators. The initial plan was, I think, for 4 to be flown in and the rest to follow by ship. Supposedly, the concentrators got to Customs in SA and they tried to levy VAT. So the kit didn't go.
At various points Sam was supposed to be shipping the kit to BF during the Summer. What was envisaged was an entirely bigger operation day one and consequently it was more complex. It seems to me the complexity overwhelmed what Sam wanted to do, along with rules about Indian Expat works changing.
The current plan is initially much smaller and will cover production, prospecting and sampling with a step up in January.
The current plan will generate extensive data and help to optimise from January. It will also permit us to develop relationships as can be seen from the X post earlier.
All of this is in the public domain but you just choose to pretend it isn't. To paraphrase AA Milne, "Trolls of little brain".
Next modelling is not reality, that would be like saying an Airfix Spitfire is the same as a real one. FML/RRR has a model and it will get updated in light of reality. FML assumes 2 g/t free gold and 2.5 g/t Saprolite. There will be areas of higher and lower grade that is what the XRF kit is for. I know it is a lot to take in but go slowly and think about it.
I don't know what the throughput is on the kit in BF nor do I know the size of the kit being moved in during January. I suspect that RRR won't commit to the higher throughput kit till January when it has assessed things.
