condor1 ... Glad you're going to wait for the Post Holiday Corporate Up-Date! Answers to questions should be forthcoming. I'm NOT trying to deceive you or alter your words. You mentioned your concerns about the roads, I'm not worried, I agreed/pointed out the dry season (at least six months - November to April) is enough time to haul ore from the stock-piles for year-round processing. That aside ... let's wait for the Up-date to see where Management is at this juncture. 😇
Corruption elsewhere is no excuse for cutting corners. If AABB wants to be a "world-class" miner, they need to lead with labor standards, not just gold numbers. Their recent "Strategic Reset" of the plant team needs to include more than just efficiency; it needs to include worker welfare. A company that respects its workers is a company that stays out of legal trouble and keeps production running.
