Spainish, further to previous comments made and questions you had, please see reply below from company :
Email to PM
With regards the funds status of PM which is causing concern with shareholders,
shareholders believe PM have no full phase development plan yet approved. Is it safe to assume PM are developing a phased development plan ?? If so are PM going to appraise and development at the same time.
If there is no appraisal data available surely this brings into question water permits, obvious land permits plus another 20 boxes to tick. What boxes have PM ticked to date, and what are outstanding.
That ties back in with the required test production over generally 180 days. This data has to be integrated into the development, to firm up the reservoir characteristics, which we have not seen any firm data on in the PM RNS’s.
Shareholders concerns is before MRPAM and the Ministry of Mining get close to issuing the EL, PM will have a lot of work to do which will require funding when PM run out of money shortly !! Can you update us shareholders on above either via a RNS or a PR meeting with the numerous options out there. It is vitally important to keep us shareholders in the loop

The plan presented by the Company and under consideration by the Government is a phased development. Mongolian law allows for appraisal and exploration activities to continue within an Exploitation Area and we are applying for the relevant permits in order to gain approval.
As noted in our Operational Update in August 2020, we have strategically put in place cost saving measures which ensure the Company remains in an operationally ready state until mid-2021 and in the meantime, the Company is pursuing a number of options to fund the next stage of its activities.
Updates in relation to the Company’s progress on its development plan and funding will be provided to the market via RNS.
Hope this helps all - ATB
