When I searched for funding permits for various mining companies in a short period of time, it differs from case to case.
However, in general, funding plans often come out before and after the PFS,
and the government often requires the DFS.
It seems unlikely that the current AAU off-taker will require the DFS.
I think the AAU off-taker wrote the PFS because he gave Brian confidence.
There is no reason to write the PFS in advance when funding is very uncertain.
I also regret this part the most.
The reason why they were dragged in without a single binding contract is because the country of the project is Cuba.
This is because there are very limited companies that will purchase Cuban metals, and it is very difficult to get loans from financial institutions.

That is why the recent removal of the state sponsor of terrorism status will be a great help.

Of course, Brian also said that the off-takers are companies that are not affected by the sanctions,
but there is no company in the world that is 0% unaffected by the US sanctions.
Are you dismissing the possibility of US sanctions just because they are a mining company currently operating in Cuba?
Then why are the exploration companies that were operating in Cuba withdrawing,
and only three foreign companies remaining,
and only making investments that can be maintained,
despite the fact that they can monopolize the situation?

We need to look closely at the situation when Trump designated Cuba as a state sponsor of terrorism.
I don't know much about politics,
but Trump designated Cuba as a state sponsor of terrorism in a hurry when he left the White House,
and he did this to grab Florida's votes for the upcoming elections.
On the other hand, Biden is leaving and is no longer interested in the presidential election, so he removed the designation.
So if you ask me when he will redesignate it,
I don't know,but I think there is no reason to designate Cuba as a state sponsor of terrorism at least until the next midterm elections.
The designation of Cuba as a state sponsor of terrorism was originally criticized internationally.
In fact, Trump should have lifted the designation, but since Biden did it instead,
there is no reason for Trump to designate it again and be criticized.
Cubans who immigrated to the United States hate Cuba's communist regime.
But the Cubans who live in Cuba are suffering.
They should be helping Cubans, but they are taking the lead and making it harder for them.
Designating Cuba a state sponsor of terrorism is not because they are actually supporting terrorism.
It's purely a vote in Florida.
