p.s. The local Brazilian J.V.-Partners -being locals would be aware of much -any
concerns they held would very likely have been discussed with MGT during
negotiations, its somewhat reassuring to see them give up their Gold royalty &
entre the Capital Raising & double holdings from 4% to 8% & thus becoming
substantial holders on the registry- this is strongly implies confidence
this is one aspect that hasn't received much in the way of consideration.

- I am also very pleased that our Brazilian joint venture partners have increased their combined ownership in the group from 4% to 8% as part of this raise.
- We value strong in-country local partners and look forward to a closer working relationship going forward.
