The contractor is not replaced by the previous one shutting down machines on 31.12. and the new one starting theirs on 1.1. Preparations have already been underway for quite some time. The smartest thing in this situation would be to smoothly pass the baton so that the resources of both contractors can be utilized and tacit knowledge exchanged peacefully. I do wonder why SoSi didn’t warn already in the last earnings report, when even a layman could clearly see that Q4 wouldn’t be able to mine such quantities to reach the full year target.
The price of silver has doubled in a year, but SoSi is still sleeping a Sleeping Beauty’s sleep. I wonder if it will start rising properly soon. The potential is there for it.
