I agree it's unfair to expect a new mine to hit it's aisc target in the first few quarters, so I'm prepared for some disappointment in this regard.
On another topic altogether ... DCN still has over 3% of it's market cap shorted (it's one of the very few goldies in the top 100 short list ... so the shorting is company specific and not a backdoor short on the gold price).
I've battled the shorters before and lost nearly every time ... their continued interest in DCN  may go some way in explaining the weird  (imo) trading patterns? Although how/why I haven't the slightest idea!
