Shed, GGP sold out 75% to a major to get to DFS stage and then GGP will need to be part of the raising for the construction of the mine which I am sure I read would cost a billion dollars. However, at DFS stage most of the money comes from the banks. GGP did not have any indicated resources and they needed to do £200 million of work to get to DFS stage. However, we have taken our project a lot further and we are now just trying to increase our grades a bit. I would not be surprised if we did not keep 45% of Toral to get it to the final stage where the fundraising for the construction of the mine is to be raised.
No one knew just what GGP had until the major came a long and things do get exaggerated hence their 20 x rise. However, it puts credibility on the table and it makes investors realize that it is going to happen and finally we do not need a major a mid sized minor will be good enough
