Macquarie and Sentient organised the funding at Libor + 7%. They were also granted options, which is normal for any arrangement like this. Like goldy said, we've kept the whole project without farming it out. I've given examples in previous posts of the winners these two insto's have backed together and if you look deep into the mineral companies that Sentient own throughout the world, but specifically in the U.S. you will understand that these boys are really first class, especially in their home turf.

As for our project, it needs a little time, but as soon as Phil Garratt notifies the market that bulk shipments have begun, you'll know its only a matter of time.
