Imagine the operation on Kipoi would proceed as planned with the annual production of 32,500 tons of copper cathodes.
At the current copper price, a profit margin of at least US $ 1 per pound would be expected.
That would be about $ 65 million a year.
You can understand the Lenders when they have patience and support, so that the system is fully functional again.
The repayment of the loans can be made as a one-time final payment or, if desired, as a partial payment. Interest payments would no longer be a problem at all.
There would be sufficient resources to build up a functioning cobalt production, generating further substantial revenues.
Well! All this could already be in progress, had not the adverse construction and / or construction defects led to the present situation.
Result: Displacement of the o.a. Possibilities through adverse circumstances about 1 year. In my personal opinion.
