"...if we can hold the current price with a build in volume . . . . . that would obviously be not a bad thing."
That is unlikely to happen, IMO, without a strong move in metals prices, especially with the current slate of executive officers who just ensured that they are likely to be unelected placeholders forever. The only way out of this, I feel, is to replace BG with PO who at least has a strong background in business, albeit not in mining.
