3 years?
DSO mining is so simple, this mine won't take 3 years to get up and running.

And given the Government is DESPERATE for revenue, it will fast track approval for what will be (initially) a simple mining operation.

How many projects have Government ministries all over the exploration site so early in a project's life? Does this indicate that the Government is very keen to get this project off the ground asap and fast-tack approvals ? Does this also mean that the Government is of the view that this project is going to be much larger than what the Akora announcements to the market have led investors to assume to be the case?

Also good to see the MD of Akora at site building relationships with Government representatives.

I believe strongly that this project will start mining well within 3 years.

In addition, expect studies that are likely to be released by year end to announce a DSO resource much larger than 8mt.

Will the studies indicate a possble mining rate of more than 1.5 mt/yr?
