Kodal Minerals PLC's (AIM:KOD) CEO Bernard Aylward talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the officiall opening of the Bougouni Lithium Project by Mali’s president, General Assimi Goïta. Aylward confirmed that Kodal is now transporting its first spodumene concentrate, with around 10,000 tonnes already at port and a first shipment of 30,000 tonnes expected by late November or early December. He noted that the company will receive 95% of the cargo value once it is loaded, putting first revenues on track for early December. He described the visit President Goïta and other dignitaries as a moment of pride. "It was a great reception by the community and our team, very justifiably proud with what we've done in Mali,” he said. Looking ahead, Kodal has several development plans, including further drilling at Boumou and Sogola-Baoulé, and completing a Phase 2 study for a flotation plant. Aylward emphasized that the Bougouni project has a projected life of more than 15 years. Visit Proactive’s YouTube channel for more company interviews and updates.
