In addition to the financing benefits, the involvement of the contracting company, OOO SK Region-Stroy, means that management resources can be applied to the development of the Company's other interests, including Monchetundra, where we believe there is an opportunity to crystallise material value for shareholders and where we are in advanced discussions to achieve this outcome.
