RE:AlwaysLong683 sed:The big fly in the ointment was environmentalists who at the last min.provided questions to the Federal minister regarding many issues such as water and wildlife. They were all addressed and approved albeit the dealy was unavoidable and the people expressing their concerns were well known advanced in their area of expertice. Financing? I think they MOZ was smart enough to secure contracts with major engineering firms to lock in before those quotes expired all the time costs were increasing.
As for redoing ther budget? No crystal ball or managers would have predicted the inflation we see now. Saying that Manson has the fortitude of a bull in a china shop to get the job done shareholders be damned its full speed ahead on the build plan. We will see other companies doing the same. You can't build a mine today out of thin air. SKE will be one in my view very soon with 200 million in the works.
Not much too do now but watch the paint dry and building take place hopefully on decent progress perhaps even exceeding expectations?
