Does look like they do mean business.
MCIPP already has the EIA and local permits. Once the ICPR is in and figures transposed to complete the bank feasibility study. I would not be surprised to see a SML equivalent being applied for, and for this to be with a start date sometime in 2019.
The even better news is that the Botswana government already has MOU and PPA agreements established so knows what is it is doing and how to get it done.
If MCPP was not on the agenda and it was just MCIPP I think we would all be very pleased that a project like this was going to come through sooner rather than later
