Posted previously, but worth a re-read from Kefi's investors Q&A's
Completion of preparation for community resettlement:
Continually expanding community resettlement-preparations down to individual households.
Detailed engineering for procurement;
Detailed construction engineering on key long-lead items being prepared for placing orders.
Community consultations on social development plans:
Plans for community development being explained as it is a new experience for local people.
Recruitment and other organisational development.
Local employment will climb as we complete the dismantling of the old exploration camp on top of the orebody installation and installing the initial policing camp,
More Ethiopian recruits onto Boards of Directors and management teams.
Concurrent closing of project financing:
We will be pleased to provide a monthly Tulu Kapi update RNS on:
Independent monitoring of Early Works;
Satisfaction of other conditions precedent, all usual and mostly Government-administrative;
Execution of definitive detailed documentation;
Drawdown equity-risk capital October 2024 to mid-2025 followed by debt capital. All committed up-front
Therefore Early Works fall into two sets of tasks:
demonstrating that Early Works on the ground have been completed safely for the protection of the community following the recently installed Federal Mining Police; and
dotting the i’s and crossing t’s on all administrative matters and the associated administrative documents, all of which have been drafted.
This sequence is designed to protect all stakeholders, including KEFI shareholders.
