We are confident, at this stage of proceedings, that this announced time-line will be maintained. We expect to provide another update on progress to the market in early 2022.\n\nA series of pictures can be viewed on the Company’s website, [www.metalnrg.com](http://www.metalnrg.com).\n\nThe release of this information was arranged by Rolf Gerritsen, Chief Executive Officer.\n\n**Contact details:**\n\n**MetalNRG PLC**\n\n**Rolf Gerritsen**\n\n**Christopher Latilla-Campbell**\n\n**+44 (0) 20 7796 9060**"}
