Additionally, thanks to positive results from drilling and development, the company is also seeing the possibility of significant cost savings at the Manaila mine, with up to 25% of savings in production costs by eliminating certain requirements for ore transport.
Together, these possibilities could mean that Vast won’t need to rely as much on the previously announced US$10mln strategic financing, with the requirement seen reduced by as much as 50%.
