mac, I think what must come first is confirmation of completion of due diligence and the deal having been finalised but, thereafter, they expected they could get a JORC out by late year/early next, around the same time that lithium and tantalum should have worked up to production/full speed respectively.
Now we also have a similar timeline to HMS production, perhaps including striking the Build Own Operate deal to enhance production x 6 and also to an exploration permit being granted for the huge adjacent beach with similar HMS characteristics, now that the principle of concurrent diamond/HMS production has been established. This principle being established is, in itself, a massive, unappreciated step forward for future opportunity for the ONLY company licensed to do this across the whole Richtersveld area.
Talk of a possible nickel deal being discussed too which, like the lithium deal, could come out of the blue. Not forgetting the MoU on other licence areas in Namibia and what progress that might see once other things begin to take up less management time.
All-in-all a lot of solid stuff likely to emerge over the next 6 months, all likely to help set a strong future course. DYOR
