Good post CBax, and more in line with the real World than the 2 rampers on here.
'Business performance for the year
As detailed in the Chairman's Statement, development of the Khemisset Potash Project continued during the period, with several significant milestones achieved.
Having received the results of the Scoping Study at the end of 2018, which confirmed the potential for a low capex high margin mine, Emmerson further strengthened the Project's economic value during 2019. Notably, with the addition of preliminary studies on two projects (the sale of salt by product and the production of sulphate of potash), Emmerson increased the NPV10 of US$1.14 billion over a minimum 20-year life of mine ("LOM") stated in the Scoping Study to +US$1.8 billion.
The Company also advanced key logistical, infrastructure, off-take, and financing options, all of which ensured the identification of the optimal development strategy and brought the Group closer to achieving its target of becoming a potash producer in 2021. These included amongst others, the signing of a Heads of Terms with a large fertiliser industry player regarding an off-take agreement, as well as an indicative offer for debt financing. Furthermore, the Company received positive results from both the environmental baseline study and the comprehensive metallurgical test work programme, and, as we look ahead to applying for our mining permit, we also consolidated several permits into a single, larger area, which will simplify this process.

This is taken from Final Results 2020. And please don't say CV19 was a massive restriction. They flew to dubai in the middle of it..
Did any one read as far as consultancy Fees? Have a look, its item i6, or17 I think , in the Notes. They all did very, very well. When you are a Director, what are you 'consulted' about. May be the 2 Rampers can share their thoughts.?
It was what the RNS didn't say concerns me. It did not mention construction start, or any time lines for events that will de-risk our investment. Finance was 'offered' in 2019, and nothing sorted yet. A Company can have a HOT agreements on Finance without Planning consent.
