To me the fundamentals are still good, ok I give in to the fact that at the moment the SP is depressing.
Those terms were used by JP when he believed all the ducks were lining up to deliver good cash flow, LC was going to plan and the customer was a short term issue. Granted now those terms could be considered disingenuous, but I don't believe there was any intent just an excited MD.
The believed news is later than stated on the email, but that was and is the plan, just because it's not here yet (late) doesn't mean anything other than at present it's not been shared to the shareholders.
I'm not sure why you are flabbergasted, I get why the terms were used and I really don't care when I hear about the review because I know unless it includes a JV/nice surprise nothings going to really change. I have been in this share for 3-4 years what's a few weeks/months more. I know people don't like it but patience really is key.
I am sure a review is underway/completed but what level of detail is shared I don't know. It may include redundancies for some at cobra or care, if there are savings to be made.
Let's look at it like this:-
Cobre still contributing, maybe a little more than we think due to commodity prices.
LC will start to turnover in 6-12 months, granted it could be a little longer until we see it adding to cashflow.
Cobre customer may be back, have settled or are still under threat of litigation, if not sorted potentially they could also be liable for the reduced market cap as well as the contract fulfilment, to me this means any settlement would have to be good.
The downsides are a possible further placing if still no resolution, my hope is the SP is way higher due LC.
That's still way better than other aim miners.
So there's my warts and all perspective.
