to be as fair to them as I can they did have to deal with the Ebola crisis and a crash in the iron ore price which took down both London Mining and African Minerals in SL, the fact Sula is still trading is a small miracle in itself.
The fact that the iron ore isn't enough to self mine constituted an issue, management cant be blamed for that, they just don't have the iron ore resource for an independent mine......management failure for me from Nick Warrell was instigating a we have Coltan resource which suddenly went quiet and a lack of action when the Ebola crisis turned round to drill for gold, but again to be fair when the crisis was over the SP here was already into the floor.
RM's failure was not offloading the iron ore to Shandong when they had the chance earlier this year and I feel the market has written off the iron ore resource.
Other failures were paying driller half in shares which sounded great at the time but not when they have been forward selling their shares to gain more shares and more cash in the process.
You were right about Shandong not needing the ore for 30-40 years but the DSO Sula have would have IMHO assisted both companies and Shandong spending $750m on an ore processing plant for when they run out of DSO buying the Sula DSO and iron ore resource would have been peanuts to them.
I agree Woods should go if he cant understand the geology as a geologist what is he doing there.
NW will never go because he is the local chief and his political connections do help.
