Viele Ungereimtheiten:
Sheridan tritt zurück. Dann würde zum 3x in diesem Jahr die Prognose nach unten revidiert.
- 190-210 koz @ AISC 830-880$/oz
- 175-185 koz @ AISC 945-995$/oz
- 150-155 koz @ AISC 1025-1050$/oz
Dann lese ich "Wir haben einen unabhängigen Experten beauftragt..."
“We have engaged an independent engineer and expect to deliver a full report in the first quarter of 2019"
Die "Heat Grades" die Guyana in den letzten Quartalen ausgewiesen hat, liegen zum Teil deutlich unter dem Minenplan, die neuen R+R Schätzungen sollen in Q1/19 veröffentlicht werden. Es würde mich nicht wundern, wenn Guyana Goldfields seine Reserven und Resourcenbasis nach unten anpassen müsste.
Wo das im schlimmsten Fall enden kann, sah man am Beispiel von Rubicon Minerals, vlt erinnern sich noch einige:
