RE:updates on Ity CIL? The last information I have was in the corporate presentation dated 23rd November 2017 (but titled "December 2017"). That showed completion expected in early 2019. The state of progress at that point was:
Long-lead items ordered
›$116m already committed
›EPCM contracted award to Lycopodium
›Construction workforce mobilisation is progressing well
›Process plant area earthworks progressing well
›Construction workforce mobilisation ongoing
›Danane to Ity 90kV OHL corridor compensation estimation in progress
See slide 44 with a photo of progress too.
We'll undoubtedly get an update in the Q4 results.
My biggest concern at the moment is whether they're having any signficant explo. success at Tabakoto. Unless they find something that will meaningfully extend mine life and lower AISC soon, the future of that mine is in doubt. ISTR in some recent announcement that they were giving it until the middle of this year to achieve those objectives. Everything else looks good to me.
Best,
