RE: Busy board today...26 Apr 2021 14:00
Hello DBW I am doing this post from memory, so sorry if I get the timescales out a bit.
I have been here since 2012, I invested end of 2013.
If I remember correctly we had a couple of Donkeys with a drill rig on their backs, getting to the 1st Alpala drilling site.
We started with two rigs and our Donkeys took three months to put them in place. ( I remember the pictures of that poor donkey being dragged up to the site by fly line )
Also these rigs were not the modern deep drilling rigs that we use today, although I believe we are still using them.
So to drill out Porvenir today will be quicker and cheaper.
We can site a drill rig by helicopter in a day.
Hence all the timescales are out, if we judge by Alpala.
We will also drill our other tenements faster, and we will deliver MRE's faster, so I believe that 2021 will be the year, we get a better understanding of the company by year end,
This is because we have developed the process as we have gone along, as I have said many times, that engineering is a process of continuous improvement. Making Porvenir cheaper and faster to prove up than Alpala.
Next year we start construction at Alpala ( if the PFS allows ).
Also we maybe delivering a PEA on Porvenir next year, and that will add to the NPV.
So really quite relaxed and we should see some value in Solgold by 2025. And even more by 2028.
