Several hard rock contractors working various projects across Manica (Fairbride, Guy Fawkes, Boa Esperanza etc.) at circa 20-23% royalty, a few alluvial contractors working away paying us for the privilege on top of that.
Also... "MMP and Xtract have further agreed that, if with increased knowledge of the Manica Concession it is deemed appropriate to undertake a major drilling campaign to identify and delineate a larger mineral resource then currently known in the Permitted Area, the parties will agree to invest on a 50:50 basis to identify a larger potential gold mining resource. The parties will form a new SPV for this activity and it will be separately managed with both parties having an equal interest. A larger mineral resource is defined as all resources in the Permitted Area in excess of those currently known, with a minimum threshold being 2,500,000 ounces."
"Option to purchase the concession
The Company has granted MMP an option to purchase the Fairbride concession, subject to all parties receiving necessary regulatory approvals including, but not limited to, the Company obtaining shareholder approval, for an amount equal to the greater of:
· An amount equal to 80% of the net present value using a discount rate of 15%; or
· US$20 million
This option to purchase has a term of 2 years and is only in respect of the known resources in the Permitted Area. In the event that the parties agree that the operation has extended life potential (beyond 8 years) or alternatively discovers a larger deposit then the parties may agree a buyout by mutual consent on the basis of an amount equal to 80% of the net present value of the larger resource, again using a discount rate of 15%."
- FYI this RNS dated 29th May 2019 - 2 year option... not that I'm by any means relying on it, but just saying...

I appreciate you have your own view on it, but to act like the above won't significantly add to cash flow and/or couldn't be a company maker in it's own right is barmy imo.
I'll get baking...
