Mmmmmmmm,, He1 said they would be submitting the ML application in 2 weeks, then around 3 months to be granted, in June said the supporting ESIA would take 6 months ?
So could there be a raise before Christmas, while they wait ?
Following the completion of the proposed Fundraise, the Company will be fully funded to complete the EWT, with a working capital runway for a minimum of 12 months from the date of Admission.

ESIA, Feasibility Study and Mining Licence application
The results from the EWT on Itumbula West-1, and subsequent integration of these into a subsurface model to determine resource estimates, will form a critical input into the ongoing Feasibility Study. This report, which is already being prepared by a growing subsurface team, will support the Company's application to have the existing Prospecting Licences at the southern Rukwa Project upgraded to Mining Licences.
The Company is working closely with the Tanzanian Government (Ministry of Mines and Mining Commission) with respect to the Mining Licence application process and is currently undertaking a number of workstreams in relation to this.
The ESIA study forms part of the ML application process and is required by the Mining Commission in Tanzania. As the ESIA study is required to take place over a six-month period to capture the wet and dry seasons, the Company has already commenced the work. Therefore, upon completion, the results can align with the EWT and will then allow the Company to complete the feasibility study ahead of submitting the ML conversion application.
The Company has appointed MTL Consulting Ltd ("MTL"), a Tanzanian company, for the ESIA and will continue to work with them to compile and deliver a detailed report to the National Environmental Management Council within the necessary timeframe. As well as the ESIA study, the Company will also undertake more detailed subsurface work and plans to establish contingent resource estimates which will form part of the Feasibility Study.
