Their commitment to Almonty has not wavered in these tough market conditions and their belief in the Sangdong mine is absolute. The Board and Management have stood alongside our shareholders in this raise and we are all completely aligned in our view of the future value of Almonty as tungsten prices continue to improve. We look forward to bringing further news on the financing package for the buildout of the Sangdong mine in due course.
