This is currently at due diligence stage with the respective parties.
The Company has continued discussions with major offshore resource groups who have also expressed interest in the Tasmanian coal, given that it offers consistent properties, essential to the cement manufacturing process. Negotiations have commenced and are well advanced in relation to off-take and project investment.
