Legals almost all wrapped up which is nice even though was not meant to be material.
The big winner though is we finally have some details on funding. Targeting 50% debt funding and 50% equity. But it looks like part of the equity component will be funded by offtake agreements (how much of the US$53m has already been spent on all the pre-work?). We might be talking as little as US$15m to be raised via CR/SPP/Rights Issues.
The lead on from that is that the company is obviously well aware of following @mineralised strategy of sending product to local SX-EW plants. If we can announce offtakes with prepayments and debt funding packages prior to completing the equity component we might even get to raise at a reasonable price.
Would be nice if we could wrap the majority of this up by the end of the year. Spend 2019 constructing and start producing early 2020.
