Draw Down
I can see the reasons for this delay.
- Clock starts ticking for repayments once the draw down starts.
- This project has to be a seamless flow of operations to reach those goals.
- No point in drawing money unless the build out is confirmed as a non-stop project.

Blueskies, the drawdown is extremely important, but what is more important is managing the budget and costs. This is what LB has stated. As shareholders, we have to trust his leadership and decision making. I too would like to see this thing get going, but as long as LB keeps to Q2 2023 to be in production, I am ok with that.

Totally agree budget and costs are very important; however until the drawdown is complete our budget is $0 because we cannot fund the cost of construction without the drawdown. Manage the budget once we have the dollars.

The order of financial management is: budget identify and manage costs spend

Agree; but you need to budget, but I would say it is step two, as you can only budget with dollars you have available to spend and we do not yet have official evidence of dollars available to budget with.

Could the delay in drawdown have to do with downstream processingn plant? Could there be some "tweaking" of the design required that is causing the delay? Could the company be on the verge of announcing full financing including for the downstream plant? All your thoughts are always appreciated. . . whois

Whois...... all good questions. I don't think the downstream processing plant would cause a delay however a tweak of the design to the processing plant could. 5ilver is probably the most qualified to answer that.

Whois, I was actually thinking the same as you as far as a possible full financing. Could also make sense to the financing last week with funds raised for "accelerating ongoing growth", which can very well be the full financing. Can also make sense to lock something down now with interest rates going up so quickly.

whoisyourpapa, I am very hopeful the delay is related to announcing a full financing that includes a faster increase in production than initially planned and the downstream plant. I think it is possible and will gladly take back any and all complaints I have made about the drawdown not being complete if this is the case.
