Managing Director Keith Coughlan said "these funds will be used to continue the extensive works that are on-going with regards to the definitive feasibility study for Cinovec. With metallurgical optimisation work almost complete, mine design commenced and offtake discussions progressing, it is a very busy time for the Company whose licences are located in the heart of the European EV revolution".
