@frikkie can't see why it wouldn't be linked or beneficial towards the possibilities of future funding also.

Any lender or strategic partner would want to see proof that a loan can be repaid. A heap of repeated/projected figures is fine, but the ability generate real cash must surely carry more weighting and give lenders confidence.

If the plant finance was approved and LPD for some reason couldn't get the mining off the ground...where does that leave a strategic investor??

Perhaps the ability for Lepidico to actually get the mining off the ground may have even been a requirement by a strategic lender before the dollars are loaned.......hence an alternate pathway?

Lenders perhaps want to see a little more.

Pushing three years now and maybe not a bad thing......make the company get this thing going.
