PS MWilt, you also wonder how others manage it without a Steve and without a CEO who is a geologist, without those two the scope for error is massive in these places.

MWilt you would hope. Fortunately there is a lot of mining in Mali.

How good you must have to be to build something like this from dust up amazing really.

All they have is water in a river available to them nothing else.

Generators, water filtration and management going in and out of the site, roads, bridges, drainage everything all designed and built or pre fabricated for this site. To work a 97km square site, 60 square miles.

Shatner, yes with all those parts from two and a half ships so far I can't believe there have been no issues worth reporting even if they resolved them.

I am braced waiting for something.

Having the plant engineers from the fabricators on site must be making the difference as previously said, I think by Steve.

PM, nobody here is an expert or ever said they were.

Just boredom chat while the guys on the ground are busting a gut to build the plant and we wait for updates.

I wouldn't take it so personally.

Plus there is an incomplete pipe in the background in front and above the crane windscreen.

Not a worry unlike one bolt left on the bench after an engine rebuild.

George, I reckon they need a big stockpile for the wet season. The open pit mine may be the first to stop and last to start as it is the lowest point on site.

I don't know what the highest temperature reached in the mine may be, if high at some points in the year the machinery may have to slow or rest in the mine.

If it is Suay Chin departure then the share price has held up well. They held a lot of stock.

The agreement was an orderly exit.

Do you reckon that CEO will be gone?

Hope, no I don't.

Do you think he reads these?

God help him if he does.

Workshy the tonnage is wrong in that article.

The two tonnages are added together. Just a typo rather than 'to' it should have said 'by'.

Income traders may get a few waves this month to cash in on as news from whatever source floats around the net.

It will be a month of excitement and bed wetting no doubt.

Yes the open pit mine (open cast) is ahead of schedule.

The wash plant construction is one month behind schedule due to the humanitarian ship detour and a national emergency wet season.

It is better if the open pit is ahead of the plant because it can remain ahead with the stockpile. This could be required if an early wet season shower stops the mine for a few days but dries up sufficiently for the plant to run. Also I imagine the first servicing this year will be small and quick and they may want to fire the plant up early but may not be able to get into the mine.

In short it is the right order.

Ratboy, Muppet yes that sounds plausible, until it is jorc verified it doesn't mean much.

Muppet guru both figures added together. Big tonnage. 340,000 tonnes per year approx

At the GMF presentation Bernard said exploration upside is fantastic.

Historically we are a jorc outfit, if it isn't in a jorc it isn't there.

For instance none of us have a clue what tonnage Kodal are trying to prove on Nielle.

We have loosened up a bit since Hainan are on the scene, I think on one of the videos, maybe the mining convention one? Bernard gave an estimate, can't remember if he said 23 years or over 20 years.

Ninety Seven square kilometres. Bougouni is a big site.

We have a tiny open pit mine, no previous mining on the plot. Vast area to explore.

Mikb, but we retain the Goldfields don't forget.

On previous JV and buyout offers we have been told.

Unless the JV contract has a stipulated initial silent process I would imagine it would be the same.
