Kiran Morzaria, Chief Executive Officer of Cadence Minerals, commented:
"The grant of the Installation Licence is a major milestone for DEV and for Amapá. It marks the transition of the Project into its next phase - from preparation into approved execution and then production.
Azteca is positioned as the practical first step in bringing Amapá back into production. It is supported by a fully funded structure, benefits from existing plant, and is designed to establish the initial cash-flow platform for the wider Project.
Our focus is now on disciplined delivery - mobilisation, procurement, licence compliance, refurbishment and commissioning.
On behalf of Cadence, I would like to congratulate the DEV team, our JV partners and advisers for their continued focus and execution, and to recognise the efficiency and constructive engagement of SEMA and the State of Amapá in advancing this important regulatory milestone. Azteca provides a clear pathway to near-term production and cash flow, while supporting the longer-term development of the Amapá Project and the enduring benefits it can bring to the State."
