I'll declare my ignorance here but wouldn't the point of a peer review be for that of DD for funding?
i was thinking a successful peer review would be the next positive step towards a funding agreement?
in wider economic news, the IO outlook looks sound on the back of China and certainly green steel will continue to ride the wave of global initiatives.
I'm trying not to be bias but it feels like it could be "the darkest hour before the dawn" so to speak.
if we get no funding announcement before the end of the first quarter... I'll be looking to wipe my ass with these at the next opportunity but until then...
