Managing Director’s Comments
LCK Managing Director Phil Staveley said: “Today’s announcement is an exciting development for ISG between LCK and our Chinese partners. It provides LCK with access to the Chinese market, with a trusted partner and access to significant revenue stream. It is expected that substantive work on ISG will start in 2020 as some project evaluation has already taken place in locations in China. However, given the COVID 19 situation it is very difficult for LCK to be able to predict when LCK staff will be allowed to travel and return to Australia from China and as such timing remains fluid.”
The Board of Leigh Creek Energy authorises this announcement to be given to the ASX
