seis, i tend to agree and think the strategically relevant aspect of this award hasn't been fully recognised becuase of the headlines about the **** project.
"in outlining the proposed scope both jubilee and mcm, in accordance with the award conditions, will establish a special purpose vehicle (spv) dedicated to facilitating the jv for processing the **** at the mcm facility in mufulira. additionally, there is potential for the spv's mandate to expand, encompassing the treatment of material from tailing dumps and oxide ore sourced from small scale miners. this strategy aims to optimise the utilisation of mcm plants currently under care and maintenance located in kitwe."
this spv with the new owners of mopani, could be the springboard for jlp growth and will give us a key relationship with one of the majors. i recall some idiot not long ago deriding the idea that glencore would ever consider doing business with jlp... well a glencore equivalent is going to which could have implications for opportunity with them in many jurisdictions and metals.
