Silures, I figured this was going to be down to the wire as generally AFC don't like committing to deadlines by set dates which is why in the bullet point at the top it says, 'in the coming weeks', which could mean any time in the future. They still have time, even between Christmas and new year is still possible, I genuinely believe they are working as hard as they can to bring everything together but it is incredibly frustrating but really only because of the share price.
Bumblebee, further down in the detail -
The Company expects to finalise its appointment of a mass-produced flow plate manufacturer by the end of 2018, following an international competitive tender. The process is expected to result in further cost reductions on a "per part" basis relative to earlier cost modelling conducted by the Company and reinforces the decision by AFC Energy to outsource this key manufacturing activity. The design of AFC Energy's new flow plate has all fuel cell components integrated within a single sub-assembly, which is expected to deliver not only material improvements in system performance, but also a more streamlined and robust quality control function to help eliminate potential failure modes.
