As expected.18 Apr 2024 07:52
Chrome good as expected.
Pgms lower on lower grade as flagged up.
Copper lower as Roan only at 40% as Leon told us.
Roan completion eased out from end of March to end of April to end of May as I predicted 3 or 4 months ago.
The reason - front end electrics - who would have thought it, said it and got repeatedly slated for it - oh yes that was me - the deramper.
IRH deal has made progress, we know that. Question - would you sign the final deal before you see Roan operating succesfully?
The placing ,IMO, was rushed out because JLP were running out of cash ( I think I've mentioned this before), the IRH stuff is bona fide but was a cover to get the cash needed. They knew all along that they had to source the front end electrics and get them manufactured and installed, they knew it would be later but they needed the cash for ............. and ongoing general expenses.
Let's focus on the chrome and the small copper projects and the stockpiling of copper for processing before the end of " this quarter". Think positive but be reallistic. GLA.
