So, as we have a news blackout here I’d thought I’d share some snippets from the BGS RNS today. ——— at 31 December 2017, 1,863 holes had been completed for 15,788m. (We started the same time, so I’m 100% convinced the lack of news is license related.) ——- Work continued during the Quarter on revision of the Project PFS announced in October 2017 (BGS 4 Oct 2017), which confirmed the potential technical and economic viability of a 1-2 Mtpa plant producing 198,000-396,000 tonnes of spodumene (6% Li2O concentrate) over an operational mine life of 9 to 14 years. This projection was based solely on the Indicated Resource Estimate announced in June 2017 (BGS, 22 June 2017). With the anticipated additions to the Goulamina resource inventory (resulting from the highly successful drilling programs described in Section 2.1), Birimian is updating the PFS during the first half of 2018. ——— BGS have put in for a new tenement, they’ve been told their is a backlog of 400 licenses. Now we know why it’s taking so long. Have a read up of the RNS in full, it’s definitely worth a read.
