Ann: COB Expands Broken Hill Footprint, page-7

Quick thinker, you may need to do a little more research into COB. Operating a Pilot Plant is a step that makes it very clear that management are focused on getting a mine built. Otherwise you would just drill and do nothing else. You will notice announcements like the water allocation. This is another signal of development, not exploration. COB has passed that stage though for sure dosent hurt to add to the resource hence the extension of rights to land.

COB are seeking to be project ready next year. Maybe back end of next year but still not far away.

Once samples are shipped expect attention to turn to a demonstration plant. This scheduled for this year.

Look, i do understand boxes need to be ticked though you have to look at the market cap. Only 80 Million.
