BB - I must correct you - we have already exported (sarcasm of course). Extract from RRR release below:
We are currently funding our product pipeline from mine to bonded warehouse in the destination port. The working capital requirement of funding a 2-3 month pipeline before getting paid for product means that we are starting on a modest scale, with 200 tonnes of ore. Once we have established that the pipeline is working efficiently, and that customers trust our product, we shall aim to sell product before arrival at port and so shorten our payment cycle and reduce our working capital requirements.
I have read the above statement multiple times and it really does insinuate the 200mts is an RRR mine to port funded operation and not that RRR acquired 200mt of mined product from a third party.
RRR also quantifies an export as simply driving the cargo they still own across the border and dumping it at a port where they incur ongoing costs.
If I drive a little north into Scotland and leave my tele at my mates house I've essentially completed an export too on that basis - although my export would cost me less than AB's current venture.
I don't expect to see DRC payment before the AGM but I sincerely hope it is days away. I'll not be hanging around for the AGM either way. Clock is ticking...
