Just my opinion - and also talking about this with some insight into currently stalled financing processes at some much larger primary cobalt operations in DRC that are trying some Mc Fancy Pants mine builds.
If your process route is a Mc Fancy Pants build, with some miracle capital costs and operating costs but never been commercially used on a DRC mine series Cu/Co ore body, you may as well give up trying to get finance and mining and stick with press releases / mining the market.
In the DRC the jurisdiction risks are high enough never mind trying to juggle with your feet as well.
For peanuts we can reach +CF very quickly using the stage 1 FS.
The rest flows naturally.
We just have to demonstrate we can gather the peanuts.
