They need to prove longevity of the resource, and that the resource can produce enough yearly input for the hydromet and downstream plant. Furthermore they need to get the engineering up to a point that there is confidence they can actually build and operate only the second commercially operated hydromet plant in the world.
The PFS should shed more light on this, and I am especially curious how they will handle the hydromet part of it, as this is the most sensitive. I am still very much puzzled why they brought out the SS - other than they said they would pointless as it was.
It is an integated project. That is also where it derives much of it value from. And imho that is how it will get funded, as an integrated project only.
PS: omg, a junior miner that breaks promises and overpromises. No way!
