Not sure what it is about good results that deflates your hopes of a possible sale Bobby, also don't see a negative impact from interest rate cuts. Agree we could definitely do without the Corona Virus and we need swift clarification on how third phase mets are to be funded.

Great results - highest grade mineralisation yet. Mok I would think we will get the deleterious elements in the second phase metallurgy as it was one of the stated purposes but it will be fascinating to find out what is the specific aims of the third phase are.

Teaye, for what it's worth I was the one who said he posted it on his page rather than merely liking it so don't worry I'm the one being called out for the glaring inaccuracy :) Apparently because LR isn't the actual author of the article it has no significance for potential future demand for zinc so let's all pretend this aberration had never happened.

Cheers Teaye - LR posted it on his LinkedIn. I'd like to think he wouldn't have done that if the second locked cycle for zinc was about to be a damp squib.

Trombone that's why I'm seeing green boxes. If there had been any critique or analysis I would have read it to test my own research. When the motive is only to agitate and provoke reactions it serves absolutely no purpose other than to confirm that there are some really strange folk out there.

No free EUZ share for Brikz for cheating (he's got enough anyway).

Agreed BB, another one for perspective is that as of Jan 2020 there have been 38 deaths since someone had the bright idea of closing the hard shoulder on 'smart' motorways

Did you get that in SA Brickz? Robert Lindsay is now 70.....

I wonder which way most horse trainers and owners vote? Hmm - anyway they'll all be safely in private boxes. Pity the bar staff with punters yelling at them for four days for service. Power To The People! One EUZ share for the first person to name the sitcom (not open to under 50's).

I'm not sure I follow Bobby - all getting a bit surreal! I just meant that Cheltenham Festival was cancelled because of Foot & Mouth in 2001 so not unthinkable for the local economy. Anyway it will be interesting to see what the new daily infections are today as they actually dropped yesterday, they're still predicting it to soar but I wonder if that's partly calculated to avoid complacency.

I agree Steve and like I said they cancelled for Foot and Mouth so not like the local economy hasn't ridden it out before (geddit?). Some very positive news from China with just 19 new infections so just seems odd that when the model for suppressing the virus is staring us in the face that we're risking creating a local flare-up. It's not a normal sporting event, four days during which intense revelry is a major part of the attraction. Not saying it's time to adopt the extreme measures of China or Italy but seems a daft unnecessary risk to me. One can't be having plague in Cheltenham :)

It's the patterns of behaviour at an event like that which worries me - everyone yelling their heads off, half the people drunk and disinhibited. Bit like the tube of an evening :) Perhaps like on public transport the majority of attendees will modify their behaviour. I see in Italy where it has got out of hand they have cancelled all sport so wouldn't that suggest a pre-emptive measure is in order? The other thing with Cheltenham is that the actual racing is only the start of the days revelling.

Very good Bricks :) Not sure about the 'lass' Steve! I just think it's strange that they were prepared to cancel it for Foot & Mouth disease in animals. Anyone who has been will know most spectator movements are not like a rugby or football match, everyone churns around between races, paddock to course to stands to bars up to seven times. I'm very much on the non-alarmist side of this debate but if there was one type of sporting event I'd cancel it would be a big horse racing event. Oh well if nothing else comes of this at least a large part of the population are venturing down the soap aisle at the supermarket for the first time!

This isn't open to conjecture, the assays results will be arriving soon. They are due and they can't sit on them. The metallurgy is more difficult to guess but we have been guided before end Q1. The market is going to be rocky for a while so there's no point hoping the two final big operational updates won't come in the middle of it. Encouraging signs from China and South Korea though I really don't understand if the Chief Medical Officer says a move from contain to delay is inevitable why events such as Cheltenham races are going ahead.

Drunk - here are some comments from the CFO talking about how many of our Rouble associated costs had increased in 2018 but the drop in the Rouble against the Dollar had mitigated the effect:
"Compared with 2017 there was ongoing inflation of certain Rouble denominated costs, in particular, electricity costs increased by 3% in Rouble terms (decreased by 4% in US Dollar terms) and the cost of diesel increased by 26% in Rouble terms (increased by 17% in US Dollar terms). The Rouble depreciated against the US Dollar by 7% in 2018 compared to 2017, with the average exchange rate for the period of 62.68 Roubles per US Dollar in 2018 compared to 58.32 Roubles per US Dollar in 2017, somewhat mitigating the effect of Rouble denominated costs inflation."
The devaluation in the Rouble is to our benefit as should be the cost of diesel though I'm sure we'd all prefer some stability.

CofE I almost didn't reply due to the phrase "Do the math" :) Actually on numbers it's interesting, I heard yesterday that over 80% of people recover from Coronavirus without any special treatment and the vast majority of those who do need to be treated also recover. As humans I guess we're hard-wired to be terrified of disease as evolution has taught us to get away from it. There have been 38 deaths on smart motorways since someone came up with the bright idea of closing the hard shoulder, but do I have a feeling of impending doom as I pull onto the M42? Well, yes I do because I'm going to Birmingham but you know what I'm getting at. (ps.only joking I rather like Brum).

Yes Leslie astonishing, though I admit it's difficult to strike the right balance between worrying us masses into doing the right things but not causing mass panic. I'm actually surprised that Cheltenham races won't be behind closed doors if they're talking about other sporting events. Can't think of a worse environment to spread a virus - everyone packed in and yelling their heads off - the constant circulation of people between races, not to mention the pubs and clubs rammed in the evening. Maybe some high profile racing fans on the Cobra Committee?

The panic is disproportionate but understandable. It's hardly surprising that the feeble-minded are fighting over bog roll when you listen to the tone of media reporting. Encouraging news from China where new daily cases are at a new low since January. I think it will gradually get suppressed everywhere and then will become a virus that we just live with like regular flu. Recovery rates are extremely high but that hardly gets mentioned, which perhaps makes sense as apathy would be as dangerous as panic.

Then they'll have to ask ALS Laboratories not to send the assay results in as EUZ aren't allowed to sit on them indefinitely.
