I think that indicates to us that gold production is pretty much nonexistent or at such a small recovery rate that mentioning it would cause an uproar among shareholders and maybe tank the price further, which would not help the convertible note holder sell his shares this week.
What else is there to believe? Any other mining company would be touting their gold recovery rate if it was any good. Pt can’t possibly be that stupid not to realize that info on gold recovery from the leach pad operation is what 99.9% of shareholders are interested in.
