Don't worry @LOTM the 1MT you wanted and invented will be there...

Don't worry @LOTM the 1MT you wanted and invented will be there many times over in nearby targets, plus the actual quantity of Phase 1 hasn't yet been revealed.

As for a Tier 1 resource, there are many definitions.

For my mind, if the initial resource is enough to satisfy a major's interest, then job done, as MOD may well be selling part of this huge project to a much larger outfit to mine. That will help all those who've stood by and invested of course but not those on the sidelines complaining.

Just talking down this (by comparison) small T3 maiden resource is pointless when looking at the bigger picture IMHO.
