RE:RE:CCI should note that Quellman didn't expressly state that the delay will be 2+ years.
He merely stated that Shaft 2 will take 2-3 more months and that RIO won't even be done with figuring out what they want to do with the underground until the end of this year. Thats a full year without taking into consideration the delay in mine plan rescheduling . I think a full year for that is a very conservative estimate. That makes 2 years minimum.
Now don't get annoyed with me for spreading bad news. The situation is what it is. Despite the conspicuous avoidance of any estimates on the conference call -- the analysts declined to press for them -- it was pretty obvious it will be signficant.
