“The grant of the final permit is a fantastic result, and allows us to direct our efforts on returning the Way Linggo project to full production,” he said.

“We will focus on implementing our three-tier growth strategy aimed at building a sustainable, long term and highly profitable project,” he added.

Kingsrose closed up 6.54 per cent at 57 cents.
