This could be very good for more than one reason, it could mean that a mining permit and other associated legal matters could be issued/handled in a timely manner. This would have the effect of pushing forward the time line and start of production forecasts. Finance will be able to sorted out very quickly so construction can begin, the DFS needs to be out early next year as expected.

This hopefully positive announcement, will also see the project de-risked somewhat once again. It could also catch out the market by surprise if the negotiated 30% figure is anywhere significant as we may expect. The terms of the deal may be rather interesting. Haven't really considered a down side to this TH, so lets hope it is all positive.
