"Not sure about the 'early November' my understanding is the CGNCP can come back after 3 Months (10 August)."

Yes, its definitely 3mths from May 10 (ie Aug 10). See here. CGNCP will definitely be back with their offer. But we can expect others might be willing to pay more considering the resource has grown by 33%.

The report estimates 33mths to production. That's because it takes time for the government to deliver roads, water and power to the site. But, if they go for the JV deal with RIO, (or RIO buys Husab) - the water, power and transportation will all come from Rossing via the conveyor which could be build within 12mths.
