Hi ID - I would have to listen to the whole interview again but would encourage you to do so if you haven’t already. I was driving whilst listening and might have missed a few things but I think Robbie laid out in a lot of detail the journey with timelines and background context. One of the requirements of the funder was a revised mining plan and these things obviously take time if you are engaging 3rd parties. These are specialists and not waiting for a call to start the next day, so it all takes time and that just to get them engaged before field visits, analysis, clarification and dialogue.
As for waiting for the POG from memory this was economical on a previous plan at 1350 and of course we haven’t been anywhere near there and given world economics I think the forward POG estimates for mining purposes will be rewritten upwards in the next year or so - purely my personal view. So I’m discounting any hanging around from either the funder or GCAT - I just think that the mining industry moves slowly. I actually think that if we go from no funder to drawn funds in the millions within 15 months is probably at the quick end of finance timelines.
