RE: Summary of Colin Bird and XTR since 2025Today 18:19
Hi Andrew if an apology is what you want then I apologise profusely if that helps. You were right and I was wrong. I just don’t agree with the whole rigid timeframe with a RNS before the ‘cut off’ date when there is no evidence to prove otherwise that they are not already commissioning the plant. We just dont know how they will use any information or in what capacity to update the market. Switch it on, feed it with low grade material, run it through, test all systems and ancillary’s, iron out any problems before they begin ‘toward’ commercial production with ramp up through the commissioning phase thereafter.
Yes, this has had an RNS update in Feb stating then, 3 months to production, which supersedes any previous timeframe as the plant gets closer to accepting ore and firming up the final development schedule, with a better idea of when they can finally confirm actual production has/had begun.
With the time that has passed, it must be very close now, the plant is certainly not sitting there idle, put it that way. Let’s not make this a competition who is right, but perhaps agree that SK and Amghas are now a step closer, being a positive.
