And no, I'm not happy with the board. I would have cashed out for a while if I'd known what I'm sure they knew and didn't tell us before the ML debacle. And I was royally pissed at the dismissiveness at the last AGM.
And I voted against resolution one.
- They've taken the piss on remuneration already.
- Nige said they'd look at reducing outgoings and their wages are a large chunk. No change so far.
- I can see us running out of funds the way we are going, and the board haven't voluntarily taken a haircut.
- I can't get a chunk of funds. I'm suffering, so they should share it. OK, if this goes sideways they lose shares. But they still come out ahead based on how much money they've put in.
- Effort and discomfort don't matter re: bonuses. Results matter. I don't get a bonus at work if I don't get results, regardless of how many hours I work and travel.
- If they get a first strike, they are vulnerable at the next AGM. But if they come up with the goods, they won't get a 2nd strike. If they don't com up with the goods inthe next 12 months then I've written off my investment. We're farked. Time for them to get off the teat. It's enough money for me to really hurt, but it's time.
- Any info the board has shared has been forced out of them by events. MMGA, tommy, etc are evil, but without their disinformation forcing the Board's hand we'd have even less info than we have now. The board don't GAF about being answerable to shareholders or proper disclosure, or we would have known the state of play before suspension. I think we are very lucky the ASX has played ball given the lack of disclosure there re: ownership disputes too.
At this AGM they need to clearly demonstrate a path to ownership dispute resolutions, ML, and trading and what our assets look like at the end of that, and how we intend to enforce any agreement reached to stop the shitfuckery.
At the 2024 AGM, they need to demonstrate this has been implemented and have a healthy share price, or they can go gardening. All the best will in the world is immaterial to me. I want results, and employees that understand accountability and respect.
Also, re: having to spend all the time in the DRC etc. That's the job. Don't take a job trying to get a mine started in the DRC while dealing with the DRC Government basketcase if you aren't prepared to do it.
