At this time, it is uncertain as to when the Company will be able to finalize its financial statements and related disclosures.
As previously announced, one of the salient features of the Restructure Plan is that AAP and Atlatsa have determined to place Bokoni Mine on care and maintenance, owing to continuing operational losses in a depressed platinum market.
In order to maintain medium to longer term optionality for production to re-commence at Bokoni Mine, AAP has agreed to fully fund a care and maintenance strategy for the operations up until December 31, 2019. The care and maintenance strategy for Bokoni Mine will be reviewed on an ongoing basis during this period, having rfegard to macro and micro economic fundamentals relating to Bokoni Mine.
