I don't understand why they haven't sorted the finance out yet Especially, since the finance was suppose to come from several sources - mining investment funds, commodity / metal traders and off-take parties. I've read and heard this multiple times from ANX (wake up Geoff) !!!

If they are sole sourcing then I could understand the need for a bigger project (which they have in progress via the hub / tolling thing etc)

Have any copper heads looked at HGO or TNC. HGO went ahead with production with an initial 4 year mine life (no debt just CRs though) but they've slowly expanded their MRE in parallel with their Cu production.
