Lets see what his next moves/decisions are as we can offset Bunker Hill and 1p options with the ballmill and the way the last Quarter went and this one currently (fingers crossed). I think with a solid Q3 we get to the point of "what next?" and his decisions will be very important. Dugbe? CORA? AGG or another takeover option? Now is the time for him to prove his worth as I feel to date he has maybe been repairing his reputation and now is the time to enhance it.
GB I think you may have your rose colored specs on as Dan Betts has a fair way to go yet to show he is fully up to the task. The worst thing for me last year was not necessarily the iffy decisions but more when he went missing for 3 months rather than fronting up in public, instead pushing Bert out to face the music. He's always happy to do the PR when the news is good but not so keen when the news is bad, time will tell on DB.
There were a few such as Colonel Drake and our old friend TigerByTheTail who put a negative spin on the last RNS but most importantly it seems the market liked it, probably aided by the increasing price of gold. A few other naysayers have not been seen for a while, hopefully it stays that way!
I think the LOM extension is important and a little further down the line will be how will HUM move away from a single mine operator? Will DUGBE be next or is it too big or will a second mine become viable on the further part of the area that CORA are looking at? But a steady Q3 should still be the priority at the moment.
Really dragging their feet on the Q2 production RNS, don't understand why it would take anywhere near this long to get out unless there is something in there that's not great (AISC?) and therefore they want to couple it up with good news regarding the ball mill (for example). AIM works on regular good news, unfortunately, so this silence is not great.
I assume if there is no RNS in the morning it won't be issued on Friday and will be pushed into at least next week. Still expecting good, if not better than good news, but don't understand why it takes so long to get the Q2 numbers out. If I was a betting man I would say they have been ready for a week or two but for some reason they want to couple it up with other information that has taken longer to get ready.
