RE: This is so bad Lorna should resign immediately8 Dec 2023 10:19
No. What has she done that is so awful she has to go?
Since taking the reins from DM she bought a rig, raised funds, had all the civils completed at tai-3 and Itumbula, drilled a hole, organised rig parts & repairs, re-worked or is re-working the civils at Itumbula and planning to drill again in January once the rig is repaired.
A lot has been achieved in a relatively short time frame from what I have seen, and all of it has burnt a lot of cash; you can't just say it cost Β£16M to drill 1 hole, that's far too simplistic.
The only real issue is the rig problems along the way which were unfortunate to say the least, but not completely unexpected; surely every drill of this nature must have problems of 1 sort or another?
If you bought a second-hand car - no matter how good or low mileage you thought it was - and 1 month later it broke down, got repaired, then something else broke - you wouldn't demand the Director of the Car Supermarket you bought it from resign, would you? Probably not.
The PR/RNS's on the other hand I'm no expert on so I won't comment.
We are where we are, sadly, my investment like many others is in the toilet and will need something special to recover, maybe a successful drill and commercial discovery at Itumbula or a deeper drill at tai-3?
Let's hope so, but I don't think another change at the top at this stage would do us any favours.
