I think we are using processes of Pre-1st Jan 2024 mining act, the current Exploration License expires on the 31/12/2024; but it should be grandfathered as EPM had their EIA and SIA submission prior.

EIA is waiting to dewater the pit (given the water sampling has already taken place). SIA (the Nov 2023 update) the terms of the scope were agreed so it appears need to flesh out the social and social economic (and environmental) aspects of the project.
I'd expect the biggest hold up is the de-watering of the the pit, could take two weeks to dewater pending pump flow rate with the filtration.

So after the documents are nearly ready - there needs to be a white paper to address comments regarding the terms of reference for responses to public comments.

Would be stretching to get it all done in 2024 (but don't see it being an issue say early 2025).
Obtaining community consultation during the winter period in 2025 would work out quite well given we would be out of the fieldwork season.

When Ivigtut obtains strategic project status will mean the Greenland projects will receive all the undiluted fund it needs.
EPM share price would easily re-rate to then be able to easily extinguish the remaining milestone payments without might hassle.
If the re-rate doesn't happen from Australian brokers, it will happen from European (SWF) Fund Managers.

As far as I have researched the France SWF are using these guys:
