"Machinery and equipment
In addition to the existing machinery and equipment already owned by the Company as described in the announcement dated 26 November 2019, a lease agreement has been signed with Leasing-Trade in relation to the following:
· Two new Hitachi ZX330LC-5G excavators that have already been shipped and are currently operating at site, and a further Hitachi ZX300LC-5A excavator awaiting shipment;
· A 30 ton Chetra T15 bulldozer arrived on site on 15 March 2020; and
· The lease agreement also provides for the delivery to site during April 2020 of additional 4 Kamaz 20-tonne ore haulage trucks.
A fuel truck, that was purchased by the Company, completes the mobile fleet at site."
"Feasibility study
The Company is working on a Feasibility Study for the entire mining license area at West Kytlim, instead of at the Bolshaya Sosnovka area only, as originally proposed. Due to reserve and operational data generated over several seasons of mining, the Company has been able to strengthen its geological knowledge and apply this information to all resources on the mining license. As a result, the amount of drilling already undertaken is considered sufficient to raise the resources on the mining license to mineable categories pursuant to the Russian mining standard (GOST). The Feasibility Study now being worked on aims to raise all resources on the property to mineable categories within a single Feasibility Study and without further drilling. This is aimed to accelerate the development of multiple sites in parallel, which should significantly increase production volumes."
Max ebtida at WK before full company sale?. A certain sustained production volume may well have been proven by this stage of working it themselves!
