It is clear that EBM is preparing for production at the Kombat Mine. We are pleased to see that they have selected and contracted a well respected mining sub-contractor who will be mobilizing to commence surface mining at Gross Otavi and the Central Pit while also refurbishing the Kombat mill; which is expected to be in operation late in the third quarter.
