The Interested Party has requested a 4-month extension to the Exclusivity Period to 31st January 2021 to complete their evaluation which the P2478 Licensees have agreed to. Upland and JV partners may further extend the Exclusivity Period with the Interested Party by mutual agreement until the 30th April 2020 should such Party commit to negotiate farmin terms to earn an interest in the licence.
