October 22 - "The Company confirms it will be holding an investor webinar before the end of the year to allow shareholders to ask questions directly to the Board. This will be announced at a later date"
December 1 - "Geolinvestproekt is now overseeing the state approval process of the Technical Project, which is now imminent. A separate announcement will be made upon the approval"
They've been confident for months that a webinar will happen (given all of the forward-looking statements that have not materialised in time previously, I don't see why they would have said this in October if they were not sure) and "imminent" implies 2-3 weeks to me, so we're in that ballpark now.
So what happens once the Monchetundra technical project is approved? Well, Eurasia can start building a mine. Or someone else can. Whoever it is gets the keys to the kingdom: 1.9m/oz to be getting on with now (in-ground value of c.$4bn as it stands, most of it recoverable due to very low AISC) before then expanding it to 15m/oz via the flanks/NKT integration (pushing $30bn in-ground at current prices and rising) and then on towards 40m/oz with the Rosgeo projects ($80bn+) which is surely why they mention "first mover advantage" at every opportunity.
Oh, and could it be that we're also waiting for the integrated and updated MT-NKT DFS? Just think, if that came at the same time as the technical approval for the first stage of the MT project, it would continue to transform the value of the company. Oh, and don't forget rising metals prices: palladium futures are up 105% over the past year ($1912/oz) and platinum futures are up 135% ($2230/oz) and both are up between 30% and 40% just the past month. Who knows where they'll be in a year's time?
I personally reckon we're getting some kind of big announcement tomorrow after the markets close at lunchtime, a nice Christmas present from Santa Christian, with a webinar following next week. Everyone could then spend 4-5 days digesting it while bathing in Champagne all weekend.
