1 TG in India - status/developments/clear communication of the history behind this transaction and future outlook
2 Forecast for FY 2023/24 v 30k

4 Finance - Loan availability for faster expansion?
5 1Q Production at or above 6,100t?
6 When bringing in the new production capacity, 6ktpa near term cheap upgrade was mentioned previously. Is this underway? Is the 84ktpa by end of 2024 still on track?
7 Cash status. Confirmation of profitability would be welcome? Such a situation is surely price sensitive so should be updated when known.
