The world Covid19 situation seems to be getting increasingly complicated IMO and I am beginning to think it will take some time ( possibly several months) to sort out.
However we can be confident that the Fairbride production will happen as MMP have already spent millions on the building of the plant as shown on the XTR website, they will have had to pay for the heavy plant currently locked out of the country and on top of this they are building the tailings dam and installing the infrastructure required to build the main processing plant once it arrives.
I would not be surprised if MMP have already invested $10-15M in the project, so there is no way that it will not happen.
There is nothing we can do about Covid 19 - que sera, sera. So our priority should now be to get the Guy Fawkes hard rock production started as soon as possible. We already know that no additional plant will need to be imported for this project and that it is a combination of surface layer 'low hanging fruit' and underground mining - so plenty to go at there. Our share should be able to finance the company until Fairbride comes on line.
Colin, if you are reading this, can we please finish off dotting the 'i's and crossing the 't's on those outstanding contracts...
