clarifications I wrote david a mail this week asking about PFS and legal situation in Kyrgystan (the 12% mining tax etc.)
so this was his answer (I have to say his answers get quicker and quicker, he wrote me back like 2 hours later)
to repeat it, the legal situation is not the reason for the delay as taxes are included anyway
More details to come when Mgmt is back next week, they are probably doing the final paperwork
PFS could be published next week IMO
Management is currently in Kyrgyzstan. I am expecting an update from them as to the timing of the economic study. I would hope that we are able to publish it by the AGM, however as I have not received and exact timetable, I cannot commit to an exact date. The increase in the mining tax that you are referring to is for gold/base metal operations. This law is currently being challenged in the Kyrgyz parliament. Stans Energy will be negotiating taxes amongst other issues with the Kyrgyz authorities as part of the newly granted Licence Agreement extension. We have factored in taxes into our current models so it is something that is not a surprise, although the final figure is unknown at this point.
Negotiations are expected to be completed in three months. The company will issue an update once those discussions are finalized.
