The depth of the tailings is to be determined once drilling is completed.The funding for this project, which may be up to U$20 million, will be provided by Central Asia Minerals and Metals Ore Trading FZCO (“CAMM”) on the same or similar terms as the Company’s existing Takob Joint Venture Project announced on 3 May 2022.

“On behalf of the Company I wish to again thank the Minister of Industry and New Technologies of the Republic of Tajikistan, together with the Chairman and Executive Team of Open Joint Stock Company TALCO for providing us with a further joint venture opportunity.
