I will keep the market informed of progress and look forward to being in a position to deal with financial forecasts in the near future. At the same time, I am equally pleased to report that XRT test-work recently conducted on bulk sample material from RHA (see RNS dated 17 May 2016) was re-run at the express direction of the equipment provider to confirm the excellent results previously achieved, and the equipment provider now confirms that the sort achieved a near 100% recovery. Premier is reassessing the pit capacity to meet the minimum tonnage XRT sorting will require and expects to be in a position to progress this in early August.
