There is also suggestion in there about it helping copper exports out of Botswana. I bring it up mainly due to a few pot stirrers on the MTR forum regularly suggesting that a mining license for MOD is not a given.

In my opinion the Botwana government has nothing to gain and everything to lose if they choose not to grant a license.

I have seen or read nothing that would suggest mining could be denied, and on the contrary continue to see indications like this that the government absolutely wants to develop a copper industry in Botswana.

MOD should definitely extend encouragement towards the rail project getting started.

Another selling point for potential M&A, particularly if the project and mine life grows and this could be an asset down the line.

Thanks for posting the article cash.
