Drills have certainly been spinning the last few monthsFrom Westerns AIF:
"Using experience and data obtained from the operations, and in conjunction with a number of leading solution mining experts, an optimized solution mining plan has been developed which includes three brand new whipstock caverns and new methods of cavern development that focus on speed while still maintain effect cavern sizes. As of early December 2023, all of the three new whipstock caverns have been successfully drilled as planned, and two main methods are used in combination for development, which is expected to be completed in the Q1 of 2024, after which all of the three new horizontal caverns, together with the three old caverns, will start production."
Also looks like there has been quite a bit of turnover internally in the last 6 monthes:
Mr. Venter left Western as of October 26, 2023.
Mr. Wild’s contract was terminated as of August 11, 2023
Mr Kirton’s contract was terminated as of August 14, 2023.
