Nope, clearly Adrian was flustered and english is his first language, so there was no acceptable excuse.

As for this latest "delay" announced today, are you still holding on to the belief that Sigma management is "top notch"?. Just failed to get the key permit after planning to restart Lamaque for the last 9 months.

This failure must have driven PK up the wall. Just what has Gorman been doing all these months? He is their (supposed) UG mining guru and failed to think about getting a permit? And he gets paid to do this? Is PK supposed to hold these so-called "professionals" hands all day long?

I really think PK has to put up with some unbelievably incompetent employees in this bull market. She comes across way too savvy to ever put up with this unless she is absolutely forced to.

I've been critical of PK in the past, but this permit issue fall squarely on Gorman's shoulders...

Hubris, I appreciate your comments and insight.

I am an investor and not privy to the details (nor do I particularly care) and all I ask is to be given accurate guidance to base my decisions in a rational manner.

Clearly, we have not been given accurate information on many occasions. And my conclusion is that these repeated failures aren't just bad luck, but are due to incompetence (the only other alternative is fraud). If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's a duck...

To blame this latest fiasco on belated knowledge about a permit is absurd. Just why did it take so long to find out? CMM should have been mining Lamaque months ago (and should have found out then). But no. It seems perfectly acceptable for timelines to slip without anyone being held accountable.

And your postulation that this permit fiasco it isn't Gorman's responsibility is astounding. Just how did the man "plan" (damn, what a concept) to begin mining??? Where does the buck stop? If Gorman failed to get miners lined up, would you blame that on HR?

This latest fiasco has me shaking my head and talking to myself in amazement...

Thinking about selling? Hell, I've been thinking about it for 6 months. Unfortunately, I chose to believe what "management" was telling me. What a mistake that has been...
