    "We’re allowing the permitting process to get us through to the end of 2015 and once again we’re allowing opposition to the project, which is another year. So we want to be in production by 2016. And that’s pretty easy for us because as I explained earlier on, we just drive the underground bore holing rig. So there’s no lead time to get into production, another advantage of the underground borehole mining method. And because we’ve chosen the use of ablation which is the new technology that we’ve achieved and fought for the Hansen deposit, which basically means we high grade the ore as it comes out from underground. We separate the uranium from waste; we get 95 per cent of our uranium into 10 per cent of the mass. We intend not to build a mill andtherefore,there’s no lead item or lead time to actually build in a mill.


    "We will only concentrate, the ablation units are skid mounted, a 40 tonne container comes in behind the underground borehole mining rig, we basically separate ore from waste. We put the waste back down underground and we transport offsite, 10 per cent of the mass containing up to 1.2 per cent uranium, which is a very high grade high value product which can be shipped either to another mill. It can be sold to people like Canada who have shown an interest, but we haven’t developed the project that far down the line yet. So production is pretty quick after permitting with very, very minimal capital."
