So stripping away the jam14 Jan 2019 12:15
As I've said previously, if Rufus stick his arm out the car window pointing to the right, it means his window is open and nothing else can be inferred. So let's work through the RNS, look at the facts and strip away the jam.
First of all, wholly unacceptable to get an RNS through the nomad process reviewed by Rufus / Jeff and the PR people to have the 'washed can' comment still in it. I ask the question, what is Edenville paying the PR company for, if it releases a RNS containing such a blatent error. There appears to be no correction RNS coming.
So the second digger has been bought, they said they would buy it and they have done. Good. They continue and state 'These vehicles are currently all being employed to increase the amount of material being mined from the existing pit' The point mined from the pit, these vehicles are only increasing the mined material, Rufus does not state they are adding to the ROM processed, it is increasing the mined quantity. My view is therefore that the through put hasn't increased and thus output hadn't increased, this is supported by the lack of output figures in today's RNS. If output had increased anywhere near the 8,000t/m Edenville contractually need, they would be shouting it from the rooftops. So is the extra digger simply digging up coal, and the trucks dumping it ready to be processed?
"second excavator and associated haul trucks will shortly move" Shortly move, well he's gone back to nondescript timeframes again. He stated 21 days for the preprocessor and he was badgered about the expectations set, so to remove anything he can be held to timewise, he's gone back to saying shortly,
"The mobile in-pit lighting to allow 24 hour per day operation in the existing pit has been installed, further increasing the Company's mining capacity." It has increased capacity, that's the ability to process coal, it is not stated that 24 hour pit lighting has led to increased output.
"The Company anticipates that mining of the new northern area will commence shortly" There you go, shortly, no stated timescales. Rufus stated 21 days for the preprocessor, but doesn't want to be tied to any clear defined timescales.
"and in the return ponds, leading to increased coal processing plant productivity." So this activity has increased coal processing, which is why the activities above that do not state they increased coal processing, should not be presumed to of increase output.
"s now complete and the plant is now undergoing testing" was testing mentioned in last RNS? You see, always just one more thing to do with Rufus!!!
'Management believe" soon the management may be they only ones to believe.
No saleable coal output figures makes it obvious they failed to get the 10,000t/m by end of 2018
