Actually Blue they are not. Aminex in Tanzania did a farm out with Ara before the development licence was issued.
The thing with the exploration licences is, if the company concerned meets the terms & conditions of the exploration contract then the development, (mining in this case) licence is a given, and written within the exploration licence.
Think about it, without such guarantee, nobody would ever pump money into exploration. I certainly wouldn't even have back money it an agreement without.
Of course any company entering the agreement will have certain assurances written into the farm in, but they will have copies from the fata room and be fully aware of the legal position.
If it is as good as we think, those in the queue will be eager to do a deal before somebody else does. The next month or so could be revealing.
