From the July RNS (i.e. the EWT is the final jigsaw piece in the feasibility study they've been working on for six months)
"Feasibility Study and ESIA Progress ahead of Mining Licence Application
Following the results of the EWT, the Company will be submitting an application to convert its Prospecting Licences to Mining Licences ("ML") with a view to fully appraising and developing the project. As part of this application, the Company is required to submit a Feasibility Study and a completed ESIA study. The Company has recently expanded its subsurface team and now has a dedicated team comprised of a Development Geologist, Reservoir Engineer, Technical Lead and Well Test Engineer to build the detailed static model and run dynamic simulation models to determine reservoir performance and resource estimates from this complex fault-fracture play. The results of the EWT will be integrated into these models and formulate the basis of the Feasibility Study and ML applications.
The ESIA study, being undertaken by Tanzanian company MTL Consulting Ltd ("MTL"), is underway. As part of the ML application, a 6-month environmental study is required and MTL remain on track to complete this prior to the ML application. In accordance with relevant regulations, the project has also been registered with Tanzanian Government entity, National Environment Management Council, who will ratify the study and award the relevant certification upon completion of the study."
