Harm, indications are that it is IRH who are dragging their feet (a bit of a theme there) but given the environmental challenges of the sl*g heap where locals have historically dug by hand and the need for local employment - the government are putting a lot of pressure on to find a solution.
LWP is pending the competent persons/professional report for the size and grading of the opportunity which will be key to the commercials and plan for the deal. Given the size of the project my preference is to get the best deal available but obviously this is taking more time which is a frustration to many including myself. It has been mentioned before that there is refining capacity available rather than building from scratch.
Molefe will depend on what they have. Short to medium term they have stated it will fill Sable which makes it a substantial project in itself. Longer term will rely on the survey of the adjoining properties and an extensive drilling campaign. If greater M proves up then I think this will be acquired by a major but we are a way off that at the moment in my opinion.
Then there is Roan, Project G and the tailings assets, all of which give me a degree of confidence that the market is mis-pricing JLP but they need to release some drilling results for that to filter through.
I await news like the rest on the board and patience is ebbing given extended time to execute but the assets are there and acquired when copper was a lot lower in price than it is today.
