    They have been losing a lot of people lately, partly natural attrition and partly an Anal management style, WTF, the pays in the bank every month and the beers nice

    We've got a huge turnover here as well. Place is going broke. Shares at 8.5c from 90c a year ago. Still plenty of ore put no puff to keep it running.

    Might be a good time to buy?

    Yep, Aussies.

    It's facked up, we ran out of fuel for crying out loud. Then we get fuel and now they've run out of activated carbon. It's a gold mine FFS, the process plant can't run without carbon.

    We had the BOS people in the camp yesterday. 8 orangutans on the release programme. I only got pics of the crates cause I was roped in helping load them up and shit.

    Loaded them in 2 shifts of 4 in a cargo net under the helicopter.



    Pommie shiela from BOS. Volunteer and a good scout. The orangs are in the crates.







    About my best day on site. Fack, it was fun.

    Dry season has set in, 6 weeks without rain now. The wind's out of the SW. The smoke must be getting into Malaysia...



    It's just getting worse by the day

    Great pics ^, i only made it to Bandar Seri Bagawan in Brunei and Meri in Sarawak which is close.

    The MIL lives in Darwin, I bring her up for Ramadan every year. The missus does anyway, I just get to pay.

    All good, you can't take it with you.

    I feel truly blessed to be a part of it. First went OS for work in '84. All my mates at home said we'll see you in 6 weeks.
