That has always been the official story re Lace mine. I have always been a bit sceptical. Too neat a story for me. If the mine was so good De Beers would have got on with it.
DCP has always been under funded and has come back to the market repeatedly for extra funds. It keeps failing to meet deadlines. It keeps having problems. Management have not handled this at all well in my opinion. Plans clearly way over optimistic, contingencies way under funded. They keep failing.
Will they ever mine for long enough without stoppages, problems, flooding, strikes, old workings, geological anomolies etc etc…to pay their debts and to give a return to share holders.
It seems clear they will have to raise further funds one way or another
