consultant.

with the owner of that site.
c. But nothing is finalised or approved.

something the Company would want to undertake until the rate of

within QSLM causing the delivery delays?
a. The Chairman explained the significant human resources the

personnel provides periodic information on project progress.

visits to the site provides for an appropriate grasp on the issues
causing the delivery delay.
