PerformanceI think there seems to be some denial as to why the SP of B2 is not performing well.
IMHO the major factor is geopolitical.
I believe that around 6 gold mining operations have been shuttered in neighboring Burkino Faso, because of hostile activities.
In his most recent comments, the CEO made an effort to provide some reassurance. I'd feel more reassured if I knew there was a private army providing security. Maybe the Wagner Group would be interested. I say that tongue in cheek, but who knows what those mecenaries are up to.
They haven't been in the news much lately.
Surely Blackwater would be available.
And, it needs to be a security force that will not jump ship if their services are required.
What the heck, they could even drive trucks and keep their weapons handy. That would offset the cost. Sounds simple enough.
