Thats definitely an impact, however when asked about what is driving the values of mines on the Sampala call, JW mentioned that "large tonnage high grade mines with appropriate logistics are becoming harder to find", hence the increase in prices which does not appear to be a short-term event. He went on to explain that most of the remaining IUPs are small and segmented and in remote forests..and further to this, they will continue to look at additional resource acquisitions as previously flagged. Clearly, they see and opportunity/risk in upstream operations. Put this into context - NIC themselves are not self-sufficient and they need ore outside of HM to supplement operations.
