What's happening in Tanzania?, page-184

I wish management would come clean with whatever the issue is that is preventing approval of the Epanko project. We were in a much better position than any other graphite project there, apparently, but whilst others seem to be getting the go ahead we are deadly silent. The shorters seem to be convinced that it isn’t going to happen because that is the most likely scenario that could turn against them if Epanko were to be approved. The other projects are a while away and that is well known so Epanko is the most likely event that could upset the shorters.
It’s very tiring as Epanko has been going on for many years now as potential project. It’s time for it to be formalised so we can be in production by the time the market needs the increased graphite production.
