Compo lol. There was an awful lot of people at those riots I can't see how anyone could assess their political persuasion. Hartlepool and Southport are labour, only lending their vote for Brexit.

Compo, not sure that Farage will have any influence.

It is just a series of unfortunate events, the acid attack, old guy killed at Hartlepool (details recently released from 4 years ago) and the difference in policing between Harehills, Southport and various protest marches.

Hopefully it all fades away as long as Starmer doesn't keep adding his twist on the events. I think those places are voters who vote left so he may have added petrol to the fire.

Comeonbernie - lol - now you know why prisoners don't get to vote.

Nobody can dispell the myth that criminals are all right wing.

In 50 years time the Chinese Communist party will be written in history as right wing.

The well known German party which you cannot type, got into power because the left wing party was to far left and the right wing party was to far right - now in history they were right of right!

Insane. Like populist - an individual that voters may vote for and remove a left wing party - that is the real meaning.

Ratboy, agree it has to be affecting today's share price.

However the current price will have much greater influence over the project profitability long term. Any project which is not as low cost and efficient as ours by 300 dollars plus is either shelving expansion if already mining or looking to reduce costs and increase efficiencies.

New projects which are not as efficient are not getting off the ground.

This almost certainly will increase our profits later in the mine life when we would normally have expected stiff competition pushing down prices. Over the life of mine it is likely to increase our profits.

We all know only too well how long it takes to start a project and take it to production and that is in a pro mining country.

So it may be negatively impacting us now but I see it as the opposite further down the road, possibly as the flotation plant is brought to life lithium may peak.

Yes I wonder if this will be the first multi bagger I see on AIM which explodes when the first productivity cheque lands on the mat.

With having two identical plants there is a much higher probability that at least one plant will be operational and on time than if there was just one plant.

If a key component was faulty, missing or damaged one should still be able to continue.

I have no reason to doubt Bernard and Steve's timetable and likely it will arrive in on time.

However I think I am more relaxed than some because I originally set a time line of end of March and move it on for any delay. That is for full production.

I think hanging on to each estimated time given by the company is very stressful and unnecessary.

We are in the extremely fortunate position that if the project came in late we are not under any financial pressure as is the normal position at this stage for an explorer.

I would treat the timeline as a rough guide a bit of fun to break the monotonous investor wait but certainly not life or death like it would normally be at this stage.

Elcobble - excellent find and a journalist who understands what they are writing about.

Robid, yes 14 knots average in the calculators that I looked at.

Big takeaway for me from what Bernard said is that all of the plant concrete footings are complete - that was crucial to staying on track.

Sad that much of the earlier ahead of schedule successes are you used up in an out of their control ship detour, they worked hard for that cushion.

Also pleased to hear that they have some wiggle room.

However to be honest if max production was achieved at the end of January instead of December it is no great failure and financially no concern. Hopefully the plant spinning late October early to mid November.

Also great that they have plenty of work to get on with anyhow, which would have been done later.

Positive RNS really construction ahead of schedule and mine being dug on time, all equipment soon into port.

George we keep agreeing! Yes plant spinning October optimised by the end of December is my recollection too.

I see full optimisation - meaning hitting 125,000 plus annual output, slipping into January.

Tweaking plant for optimum output is not super quick - but you never know we may be lucky.

One advantage we have is Bernard and Steve are good at analysing the crystal types and how best to process it and we have very low unwanted materials in the samples which would have been complicated to remove if present in larger quantities.

Easier to adjust expectations then on time is a bonus.

Lol, if we had previously got an RNS stating our ship had made a detour to Sierra Leone our share price would have bombed - pardon the pun.

We were ahead of time, it will be interesting to see when the plant arrives on site.

Whereby before we could be relatively confident that the plant could be running at full capacity at the end of December, now, depending on when the plant arrives on site, we may, no matter what Bernard says, move our expectations forward by a few weeks.

It is unfair to transfer that additional pressure to Steve and his team.

We could be lucky it may almost plug and play, then we could be back on track.

Personally my expectations have moved on about 4 weeks.

All still good.

PS Robid, I listen to the other companies to see if they may be purchasing Goldfields, any issues with the mining office and any transportation or tax issues.

You can pick a lot up in their presentations and q&a

Robid, nothing untoward at Hummingbird either they just gave an overview mainly of their own position but commented on wider Mali. No issues with the mining code and that the mining office was working.

Nothing negative anywhere at present.

It will be the larger gold mines who were moving ore around if any, which are likely to be less happy.

Some were moving ore to avoid taxes.

Unless something big is happening and they think it worth waiting to include - lol.

Sorry didn't want to kill the momentum.

Other companies are reporting the mining office getting through stuff, Leo, Hummingbird and Resolute.

Agree a better finish than expected

Comeonbernie - yes and he reduced corporate tax and brought more corporate tax receipts in.

Not movie star looks, not a good speaker, kind of grew up in his own way, but certainly not stupid, good at surrounding himself with competent people and decisive.

It will be interesting if he does another term how history will look back on him.

The other president that everyone ridiculed was Reagan an ex B movie actor - turned out to be one of the most successful presidents of all time.

Resolute

Not affected by the new mining code. Positive about the new mining minister.

Mali government is slow in returning Vat, not in the normal timeframe.

There has been 150mm of rain, but they have continued operating - but they had all concrete laid.

Nothing untoward, neither they or any investors during the Q&A mentioned any troubles. So not worthy of mention.b

We need another political talk to raise the share price.

Liberal democrats campaign plan - Ed Davey, seemed to decide Boris must have gained a majority with his zip wire....

Construction (earthworks/concrete footings) update and a potential resource upgrade due.

Any time now - however I noticed that the drop down on the website doesn't work to change month (right hand side)

Everything - ev.
