The new mechanised mining equipment has begun to arrive on-site, with the remaining equipment expected to arrive under the new mine plan schedule.
The company stated that no further funding was required to implement the new mechanised mining plan, and any future capital expenditure will be financed from cashflows.

Vast’s share price is currently trading 31.48% above Monday’s close at 0.1019p.
