Comments from President and CEO Ulrik Jansson
- During the quarter, our operating cash flow strengthened, and we have paid
down one bond loan and invested in operations. Unfortunately, production was
lower than expected, due to technical problems at the Azurite field, which has
caused a delay in peak production at the field. Together with the operator, we
are working to solve the problems that caused the delay.
