If we reach a point where there are opportunities to invest in developing both Telfer and Havieron, we’ll need to prioritise one over the other to avoid taking on excessive debt. Pursuing both projects simultaneously would strain not only our capital resources but also our management and operational capacity.
One alternative is to extend the timeline of one of the projects to reduce cash burn.
The key advantage here is that we have options—and we’re in control. We have all the resources required to deliver both an expanded Telfer and Havieron. The real question is: what timeline do we want to commit to, and what level of additional cost (debt) are we willing to accept to achieve it?
Personally, I’d be happy to prioritise the expansion of Telfer and delay Havieron’s development by six months, even if it takes an extra six months to build. If that helps us avoid burdensome debt, it’s worth considering. However, if debt can be secured on favourable terms, then I’d support moving ahead at full speed.
I also have full confidence in SD to guide us through these decisions and challenges.
