Shaun was nervy but getting " conservative " numbers lodged in the Market29 Jul 2025 09:00
Shaun was nervy this morning. He clearly knew that there would be a negative response to some of the adjustments to the numbers. I listened into the web cast. He was at pains to use the word "conservative" in association with the forcasted numbers. I got the impression he was working to a brief to get numbers in the market which are at a level where they will be beaten. He almost inferred as much at one point.
There was some early chatter about the forcasted AISC rising but I don't think some people realised the 25 number had Stock piles acquired on aquistion so the costs of getting it out of the ground were not taken. They are in 26 so hence an apparent rise but we knew this was coming
Neither Shaun or the COO covered themselves in glory for clarity. It should have be a labored point Telfer LOM looks to be going to 29 In the minimum. Thats a big big point thats getting lost. Haveiron awaiting the DFS in December and not much happening before that doesn't resonate well with those of us here when GGP was just a drill site in the Paterson but we are generating cash and have no debt and a producing mine thats growing and the mother lode already lying under ground
Patience here should be rewarded in a II market where they are being aimed at Conservative numbers. At 2.50 and changed i couldn't resist taking another chunk. Seems churlish not too. Nothing much has changed that I feel will stop this growing further
