It seems to me that the timeline and the delivery capacity of the BOD is the main point of concern from most. So, what does this all come down to? Broken promises I presume for those that have been here a long time.
However, after listening to some recent interviews and reading back a few RNS, the construction or engineering company of choice is Lycopodium. Based in WA. Now this is where it gets interesting and hopefully alleviates some of the pessimism among the BOD's ability to deliver.
We are fully funded, and some! And this will be based on Lycopodiums PFS and Capex quotation / estimate / whatever you want to call it.
Kefi wants cash flow ASAP. So do we all, the sooner the better. But when I research Lycopodium as a company with regards specifically to experience in the sector, experience specifically in mine development in Africa, and then the delivery record on projects WITHIN budget and WITHIN the time frame (often delivered for less Capex, and in less time than expected) they appear to be the gold standard of choice for this particular project!
Which means....possibly and hopefully that the timeline and development costs rely on a gold standard company, with impeccable track record for delivering within budget and on time. Rather than the Kefi and the BOD that you have all become accustomed to.
So, I think its fair that with these guys heading up the show the road to first pour is significantly de-risked. Much like paying the expensive more reputable builder, rather than the handyman without liability insurance.
