Shiv- I am definitely with you on this. With the lack of an RNS telling us the joint venture with Northam is ceasing or going to cease, you can only assume there is no change. Plus the latest video from Leon https://jubileemetalsgroup.com/presentations-videos/ telling us that we can look forward to expanded PGM growth in the very near future! ( straight from the cash cows mouth one could say!). I would find it very strange that Leon would be predicting growth ( only a couple of weeks ago)in the near term when in fact the opposite was planned. He seemed genuinely excited about the growth plans in South Africa. We have hard facts pointing to production of over 3,000 ounces per month from Inyoni and 2,800 per month from the JV. Perhaps indicating a base figure of around 78,000 oz per annum without the planned Inyoni increase. Without an RNS to say otherwise I am going to assume parity, of course this can change and is likely to change at some point- but Leon states we can look forward to an increase in our South African PGM business in the near term. Upon reviewing recent communications the downside to this means there could be disruption to Inyoni between Feb and April whilst the expansion takes place, which may cause a small rethink to our figures for the current year. The upside in my mind is increased production going forward from April until told otherwise. Couple this with the massive rise in basket price could be like a fire in a firework factory!
