Nkat, thanks for sharing the info, really interesting to read. Obviously legally, and to the letter of the law, the sub 2000 tonnes a day threshold was an avenue they could pursue in the manner that they did, and you would expect that they had done some DD to determine how viable it was as an option. But with the change in government, coupled with increasing discontent and public pressure, the inexplicable decision to have a breach of that threshold in their submission provided the new government with the technicality they needed to reject the application and refer them to BAPE. Management have determined to push ahead with the application, so I wonder what that confidence is based on? Have they sat down with more officials and received some further 'assurances' that if all is in order they will get the green light? And if they are so sure and confident with their persistence to apply, why not show that by dipping the hand into the pocket in a capital raise? Or is this just a last gasp attempt to get project approval at Authier, having come so far already? And all of this to the current backdrop of current Lithium price, oversupply fears et al.
There are far more questions than answers right now.
