There is a EPC contract in place aandi, part of the contract is a agreed upon production output -
"Engineering Procurement Construction and Financing (EPCF) Contract
An EPCF contract to develop the mine at Monchetundra is already in place with Sinosteel, a state owned Chinese corporation focused on mining, and was agreed in October of 2016 (see RNS dated 10 October 2016. The contract provides for Sinosteel to undertake the mine and processing plant construction and commissioning on a turnkey, commercial arms-length basis. 85 per cent (or US$149,600,000) of the contract value has been arranged as debt-based by Sinosteel with this element of plant construction costs to remain on the Sinosteel balance sheet until such time as the plant is operating at full capacity and to designed specification."

Because sinosteel did all their due diligence and agreed to keeping the loan on their sheet until it is operating at full capacity, then it should be pretty much taken as fact that it will make it to production, or at least that the production risk has been pretty much eliminated through that contract.
There is also this -
"Off-take agreement negotiations are progressing with Glencore (the third largest international commodity trader and resource project investor), Sinosteel (China's state owned EPC contractor and a major mining investor and commodities importer into China) and other major players that cannot be disclosed at this stage, for the entirety of the life of mine output. It is hoped an agreement will be reached with one of these parties in the near future and this agreement will integrate with Eurasia's already agreed, and signed, Engineering, Procurement, Construction and Financing ("EPCF") contract with Sinosteel which includes financing of $150 million as a 10 year facility at 6m LIBOR plus 3.5 per cent."
