• Fully funded for completion of Baita Plai Polymetallic Mine Testing in Romania, with positive confirmation
of second batch tests likely to open up significantly cheaper funding (debt) from banks currently in talks
with management over supplying cash needed to recommence mining by the end of 2020.
• Recent positive assays indicate better than expected grade recovery is possible from Baita Plai (RNS12/5/20), particularly with Cu as well as valuable by-products helping to achieve >$10m FCF upon 13ktpm
(management estimates).
• Recent receipt by VAST management that Chiadzwa Community JV to conclude soon with the official
communication only slightly delayed due to COVID-19. Good relationships with key decision makers is likely
to expedite the completion of internal processes and a positive decision likely in the next 4-6 weeks giving
investors the opportunity to invest in an attractive, low capital cost diamond project which benefits from
regional and governmental economic support.
