    COO Richard Tremblay stated that drilling performance at Florence is strong and the team continues to find efficiencies. He confirmed that for the near term, Taseko will continue to use external drilling contractors before assessing the option to bring the activity in-house.

    Duncan Hay's questions to Caledonia Mining Corporation PLC (CMCL) leadership • Q4 2024

    Question

    Duncan Hay sought more detail on the Bilboes concentrate sales scenario, asking about the strategic preference between securing a permanent export deal without a BIOX plant commitment versus compromising to advance the project sooner.

    Answer

    Executive Mark Learmonth explained that the government's typical approach is to allow concentrate exports for a limited period, such as two years, with a subsequent requirement to build a local beneficiation plant. However, he noted that there appears to be increasing pragmatism from the government on this issue, which the company will explore.
