Mine and Infrastructure Costs

It seems to me that we have almost everything in place except a working mine and delivery infrastructure.
I have seen this before, guaranteed off take agreements, but no mine and transport.
This has to be the next step.
Forget about pie in the sky SP predictions, without a mine and delivery infrastructure, we are screwed.
It takes cash to create the required assets.

I want to hear that TON has secured finance for the required works.
I want the terms to be agreed upon in the interest of the shareholders.
This would be a big milestone for TON providing that the terms were favorable.

I would be interested in hearing other members views on what it would take to get a working mine up and running.
- estimated cash for mine
- estimated cash for transport infrastructure
- time lines for mine and transport establishment

(just a realistic approach to supplying our off-take partner with a commodity)

thanks in advance
