RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:A Bloomberg ArticleI'm not convinced that it will be a second EST this year. See the text from the Q2 report below.
But if not, it is not the end of the world. In fact, it could explain why we are below 3 CAD.
Also, it would most likely mean that instead there will be an early EST in 2018.
This is from Lucaras Q2 report:
"...Revenue guidance is maintained at between $200 to $220 million, however, as south lobe ore generally returns larger, higher value diamonds contributing to higher overall rock value. Revenue guidance forecast does carry increased risk based on the challenge in predicting the overall timing of the recovery of these large, high value stones."
