I was about to write exactly the same thing. This depends on gold now - BAA is still as a gold digger, performing quite nicely as the two mines reach a steady-state production.
Martin/BAA cannot inform individual investors about an expected miss on predicted production. This needs to be done altogether in a PR... and it doesn't warrant a unique PR because they cost money.
As Stockitout has pointed out, they expected to have the fine crusher installed by Q3 but that was disrupted because they operate in the Congo where things get rough sometimes and there aren't always roads to transport equipment... so since it still isn't installed it would be normal that can't reach their target.
