Moneyhawk, apparently tailing operations can stay open during the lockdown? Good if we can use this opportunity, as long as we can keep people safe, although I wonder how long it will continue?
I agree it would be nice if it was operating. I wonder if some of the reason it’s not is because they’ve been trying to talk to third parties. Wonder if was to effectively get them to pay for the cost of the operation which would make the value at Kabwe so much more. Also assume it would extend the length of the operation.
Even allowing for the massive downward movement today in PGM prices the high price of Rhodium over the last year should provide some cushion and allow JLP to still be profitable on the margin? That and a cushion of cash should see us through?
What’s really missing here is what is the USA’s economic response to the virus. Until that comes out then markets will probably continue to fall. Even when it does they still may! Get under the covers until July I think, then see what the worlds like!
I would have thought that the bringing online of metals is just a planning issue. I’m not convinced that Leon is able to forecast the future! The strategy is to produce as wide a range of metals as possible to win on some and win less on others?
