Look addicknt however you have tried to pretend I have no idea, let's both be constructive.
We are agreed this is not a bid situation.
To me nothing in the recent past has suggested that's the case.
I have always said the most probable outcome was we head to production.
However I have never counted out a hostile bid, because as you know, I have laid out the diverse book argument many times, explaining why if any type of bid was coming, it would in all cases be hostile, as no one is going to pay us what we want, and that means with major parties holding onto blocks of shares were never going to sell cheap. In fact NCM have said more than once that they are not selling their stake, and would like to add to their position should the opportunity present itself.
So to me this doesn't look like a hostile bid either, because by it's nature a hostile bid would come out of the blue.
So what's left.
Could it be that the change in direction that Ingo was on about, is a much faster open cut than we could imagine, and our first revenue will not come from Alpala. Or could it be Alpala will be up and running faster and as such the BOD are going to have to earn their wages and different skills are now required.
Whatever has happened, I suspect we will find out sooner rather than later, as now every shareholder has a series of targeted questions. I doubt we will get anything from our head of communications. But I would suggest that the people on here who are in contact with the company, can ask the question. Why is this happening, and now is the time to give us the detail. An open question that requires a series of closed answers.
