The typical percentage of NPV mining projects can command at the various stages of a project are: PFS, 20-50%. DFS, 40 -60%. Development/production, 60-90%.
Various factors will determine which end of the scale a project sits: Jurisdiction, financing, and management.
1) I would argue that given the new emphasis on critical minerals, we are now in a much better jurisdiction than we have been for many years.
2) If the PFS is a strong as we believe it will be, financing shouldn't be an issue.
3) Management. This is the tricky one. I do not believe our Board is currently set-up to take this to production. Furthermore, I don't believe they have any intention of so-doing. However, if we eventually head in that direction, we can strengthen the Board with new appointments.
With cash in the bank, we're all set for the rapid advancement of the PFS.
