RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:clarification I think he is right about the permits. Put yourself in the place of a lender. You have never financed the expansion of a cobalt refinery before and all the necessary permits are not in place. High risk of them defaulting on the loan if there is a permitting problem. Not a wise business decision and probably outside of their normal due diligence parameters to make that loan. With permits in hand and a strong business case which Trent has provided (feed and offtake both secured) significantly de-risks the loan. People here are still calling for updates from Trent but he is busy putting the pieces together. Long lead items have been purchased with funds from the treasury and work for planning the foundations is happening. Like us, he is waiting on the government to issue permits.
just my 2 cents
