Hi CC,
Dubliner gave some thoughts on this in his post on 14th Sept, which are well worth reading.
Based purely on the fund-raising history, we are certainly due for one now, and it does seem a big ask to be able to hold on till the permit is granted. So we may need a small 'interim' placing before then.
To get production started, even assuming we follow the 'low cost startup' route, we'll have to pay for the reclamation bond plus some infrastructure, even if it's just putting some fences up. But at that stage, with the permit approved, other funding options should come into play.
Once production starts to ramp up, we'll hopefully achieve self-sufficiency before too long, and can start saving up the pennies towards the processing facility. If we can repurpose the Millers plant (as per the latest RNS) then we should get there much sooner/cheaper. I am inclined to be cautious about this - bringing old equipment back into service is unlikely to be problem-free! But even if the grinding/processing kit is unusable, just the site itself with its infrastructure (electricity etc) in place should give us a head start.
