The NBE Directive regarding capital controls established by the central bank was one of the final action points remaining to allow for the completion of the Tulu Kapi Project financing package. The company has also received other confirmations from the Ethiopian government.
KEFI has received formal approval for its updated Environmental and Social Impact Assessment, facilitated by the Ethiopian Ministry of Mines, and the requested updated completion schedules by the electricity and roads authorities for offsite infrastructure. Only the documentation and administrative matters remain outstanding.
The government is also addressing the security issue to facilitate the next steps in the field and ensure continued stability in the region around the project location. As planned, the company is still scheduled to launch the project in Q4 2023.
