RE: Let me know when we start trying not to fall out18 Sep 2025 11:39
Big_khanu I agree with some of what you say regarding aggressive timelines - they are optimistic.
However also an investor should understand what they are investing in.
Just a simple example if a ship was in China kicking its heels waiting for a cargo it would take 20 days to get to Abidjan.
But it will be a return load not a one way cargo, so more difficult to organise.
Regarding previous delays the government offices were restructuring to try and comply with a democratic government, not a factor easily accounted for, a mining audit discovered dodgy practice with gold ore to avoid taxes, again not something which anyone could account for, leading to another mining code to close previous loopholes and bring the codes up with developments discussed when they were part of ECOWAS again an unknown.
However even with all of that we are years faster than a similar development would be in the UK or most Western countries.
As with all of these companies investors learn patience, either through prior experience or the tough way with their first one.
