"Review and reassessment of the opex, capex and resultant economics for the Phase II expansion program in light of the advantages to be achieved from both the new high-grade material from the previously known areas of graphitic mineralisation and from the new mineralised pegmatite zone. The revision of the feasibility study program is underway and is not anticipated to involve fundamental reengineering or redesign. The updated feasibility study program will be completed over the coming months. Valence Industries proposes to implement as soon as possible those stages of Phase II that can commence early. This may include preparation of Uley Pit 2, baseline civil work, preparatory infrastructure, longer lead time orders, detailed design and engineering and early contractor involvement (ECI)."
