Some of you certainly need to go fishing....or re-read the quarterly. Nearly every gripe above ( I confess I sped read them so skipped three quarters) is actually answered in the quarterly.
The Concession de Lavra is coming and it will be soon...how soon? Don't know, it's a government department after all. EVERYBODY is awaiting it. I still check all sources I can each bedtime and each morning...I'm full of anticipation as well. People are talking like there is a terminal illness in the family rather than a happily pregnant young wife about to have her first child.
Awoonga, when you are project managing a building you are fully aware of everything that is going well, everything that is a fraction off and the items you need to run strict supervision on. It will be no different for the AVB management team. However, the difference is you do not know the nitty gritty on this particular job. Hence, you get nervous. I've argued hard for more communications, better PR etc and quite frankly it is for two purposes; to bring new blood in and to give current share holders the illusion of control. My point is that it will only be an illusion, if an important one, at the end of the day we only get an annual or bi-annual chance to change anything in reality. The major change I wanted done has already commenced, I hope it is finished off as well but otherwise I am confident that we have a more than capable mine management team on the ground. We have people running this show with great tenements, for the future, lots of copper and serious money in the bank. We are building relationships that will hold us in good stead for later mines as well.
I believe people have a choice, relax and let them do the job or stress and they'll still do the job ...know which lifestyle I'd prefer. This is all about psychology not anything else as other cool heads have alluded to above.
This tongue in cheek: VOR have just announced a trading halt for an acquisition with virtually no money in the bank..you know what that means
Sell your AVB and buy VOR (and that is not investment advice)
