To see the Governments response to us going back with replies and the proposal of the pilot scheme.
I would not be surprised it is indeed just a major Government cock up to see things try to be rectified quickly and some sort of expedited process to be put in place (certainly for the pilot scheme). Perhaps that's wishful thinking but I don't think it's outside of the realms of possibility.
Remember that we were at our current SP back in July 17 well before we even submitted the original tender docs and since then we have seen the mining licence granted, our seismic survey operations commence and be completed and are close to results, core holes being drilled, listing on Botswana stock exchange, secured a cornerstone investor and had a major investment in shares from the Botswana Gov pension fund.
Are we further along the road than we were back then? Certainly.
Are all the opportunities available that were available back then? It certainly looks like they will be and in cases outside of the RFP we are further along with regards to looking into offtakes.
Could end up being totally wrong I believe the business case for buying into TLOU at this stage at the same price is a lot stronger and hence a bit of a no brainer.
