Hi Obstando, welcome the the BB, for Pitombeiras we know that the PEA is scheduled for Q1. Trial mining license hasn”t be specifically mentioned but is the next natural step, this process has been shortened recently and was originally around 3 months in Brazil. Based on these two key milestones being achieved then we would move to some level of small production which I am assuming will be within 2021. There is then the question over a partner which we have speculated could be Largo (based on the decision to take the Canadian standard NI 43-101 resource estimate, the fact jangada changed their fiscal year to the same as Largo, and also the fact we are using GE21 for our PEA who are who Largo have used) .. pure speculation though.
It is an aggressive timeline for small scale production but Jangada have been speaking about fast track to production. Also, we are fully funded up to the PEA. This is from the end of year newsletter.
The next step is the completion of the Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA"), which is being undertaken by GE21 Consultoria Mineral and has a targeted release date of Q1 2021. This will be another milestone in our fast-track approach to production and will, we believe, validate the economic viability of the project. As part of this, we are proceeding with additional metallurgical tests concomitant to the drilling programme. Finally, I would like to highlight that Jangada is fully funded to execute the current drilling programme, along with associated project development activities, through to the completion of the PEA.
