Single goal - to monetise our assets at the earliest opportunity. KOD says production Q1 2020. Why? Because they already have an OT partner for a minimum 80% at market value. And that OT partner has a 27% stake in the company. And, in reality, KOD is only 6 months or so behind Mali Lithium. We're on target for submitting the ESIA this month and the Mineral Extraction Permit application by the end of September. So, not that far behind at all.

The key to both projects is funding. KOD believes that's in the bag. If KOD can be the vehicle to both projects being brought into production ASAP, as a merged enterprise, where's the harm in that? Only the Chinese are showing any real interest in exploiting Mali's Li atm (although the Indians are on the scene, in a small way, too) and who are Mali Lithium in talks with? The Chinese! 2+2 =? Don't forget that our Chinese friends have hosted Malian officials at their processing plant in Shandong. There was a reason for that!
