Hamish hasn't spoken to the governor yet, pea brain. Maybe best to know the result of the meeting before you get too excited.
If everything is approved then all well and good. Maybe GMC can pay the market price for Mn ore at US$6.95/dmtu and then the local villagers won't get ripped off. Make sure that the workers are getting a good wage and good conditions and the environment isn't destroyed then everybody will be happy.
You might have to re-work your costs though if you GMC pays the market price for its ore.
