Nyota Chief Executive Officer Richard Chase said: "The Ethiopian government's acknowledgement that our DFS [Definitive Feasibility Study] and the ESIA [Environmental and Social Impact Assessment] comply with all requisite regulations for the issue of a mining licence means that we can now focus on negotiating the terms on which such a licence will be granted and raising the necessary funding. We are one step closer to developing Ethiopia's next gold mine."
