RE:RE:RE:RE:Fwiw....... If you did the DD you will find time & again (as quoted by Randy Smallwood - Silver Wheaton - CEO).

Wouldn't everyone agree (using your 18 to 24 month time frame) that GER has put the pedal to the metal in Honduras - with Cobra de Oro Mill production, La Cobra concession acquisition, local, friendly mining community relations with positive high grade ore feed stock. Possibly your demands are ill-founded & you are simply looking for a quick buck (which is what drives most narratives). Yet negative, disparaging narratives really play against your own intended goals?
Now under this 10 year criteria I would say not only has Jean efficiently expedited our investment (already into Mill production/ full expansion) with ultra low "All In Costs" at around $350.00 US. Also the timing of La Cobra being placed on the fast track with the dumpsite feeder supplementing the time lag (naturally speaking) of 43-101, drilling program including pre & feasibility study.
Plus the cost of the concession is zero - $0 !! So you maybe a senior exec., but clearly you have missed the mark by calling Jean over paid & unreliable. So under the PM's industry averages, I for one would say GER has done very well in recognizing & moving this series of expansions & the acquisition of the best gold concession in Honduras along brilliantly.
