Randal Your exact words

In respect of your claim that we should have sent more rigs and drillers, you are completely off base. The driller was a seasoned operator capable of running a multi rig program. He was a senior man in our group and more than capable of completing the work within the timeframe. The rig was producing up to 120m per shift but would typically drill an average of 50 or 60 metres due to the difficulty in moving around the area. The issue was not the number of rigs but the number of available days to drill and part of the arbitration proceedings between Cougar and DNI revolve around this issue. Cougar claims that many days were lost due to matters beyond its control, including 42 days when we were told to stand down while DNI negotiated with landholders and 28 days in October when our driller was removed from site by the police following a complaint by DNI, accusing him by name, of illegal conduct.

You were there 240 days. Your complaining you couldnt work 70 of those. If we take your word, you still had the rest of the days for your driller to get 3000 meters drilled where you say your driller was averaging 55Meters/ day. Things arn't adding up.

DNI press release dated March 27 2017 mentioned the

9. The Saprolitic advantage of DNI’s graphite project, will simplify drilling for Cougar’s experienced team. Cougar completed a drill program of a Saprolitic graphite deposit in Brazil, in 2015/2016.

Obviously you knew things were not going timely since your numbers were way down from the beginning. Its there where you should have protected your interest and sent help, and made the trip yourself to see first hand and make the adjustments. It there where you could have brought up and documented any issues but you chose to leave it all up to your one driller. Instead, after a default 7 months later, we hear you blaming DNI.


Im going with one driller was not enough and things are just not adding up.
