Interesting few thoughts from you there Arok and well worded.
Avoidance of doubt I hold a sliver, no than that, of a new deal. I'm a brutal realist.
I would just add that the market ever changes. funds move about. I think the iron was hot a few times. I think it was with KP when PLL first signed up. Then Ghana took absolutely ages, then theres an imbued expectation everything just starts when they ratify. PLL had moved on immeasurably, no longer existed even. Money was reallocated. Elevra aren't ready to move; in swoops someone with readies 'now', yes on the cheap. I did think Assore would defend having offered 33p, but again, that was a while back, maybe they have better options 'now' elsewhere, maybe they dont have 33p anymore. Funds are eternally, globally, agile. Timing is everything. Ultimately I believe Ghana 'undid' us. This is the bit where BOD criticised for not having plan B, but rat was 2 years with no end in sight. How do you plan for their unpredictable whims ? Along with many others, I'm done with the Africa thing, too 'opaque', random, 'crazy' actually, cant plan the funding around it. ATB and lets see if the 'slither' emerges.
