Hi Scaramouched,
So the 50,000 ounce downgrade is, by my calculations, around 15%. On top of that was the increase in aisc.
The excuse for this, as far as I can determine, is that the data the original ounces were calculated on (which was historical data from newmont) was wrong.
Hhhhmmm that's not a good look. It doesn't matter how people on here view SD/ggp now, There's been numerous, pointless arguments and name calling, on here on that subject. It's how the market/ii's now view him/it. An increase in the price of gold and resulting improvement in figures will not repair what's gone before. It's a by product not anything that ggp will influence or take credit for.
I was going to use a Mars bar as an analogy but think bricks illustrate my point better. If a housebuilder buys a large quantity of bricks from a company (size +/- 1%) and when they arrive they are 15-20% smaller that throws a massive spanner in their works! If the company who's supplied the bricks then (remember no refunds) says, well we were told the bricks were such and such a size by the manufacturer. That to me does further damage. Any housebuilders looking on will think hhhhmmm.
It's a bad, very bad, mistake which has not been fully explained. Credibility is everything, I think we have lost more, of that, in Aus than realised. Some say the Aus press is biased/in cahoots maybe though they are reflecting the true sentiment. The sp seems to agree.
