Berkeley Energia Limited announced that the company's focus continues to be on progressing the approvals required to commence construction of the Salamanca mine and bring it into production. The Company continued to engage with the relevant authorities in a collaborative manner to facilitate the timely resolution of the pending approvals required to commence construction of the mine. The Company's Spanish executives and advisors have met and continued to have constructive dialogue with officials from the Nuclear Safety Council ("NSC"), the Federal Government, the Regional Government of Castilla y Leon and the Municipality of Retortillo, as well as other key stakeholders, during the quarter. In late March, the Company formally submitted the updated official documentation in relation to the Authorisation for Construction ("NSC II") to the NSC. During the quarter, the Company held a number of teleconference meetings with the NSC technical team to discuss and clarify minor queries on the updated documentation. The Company also provided written responses and/or additional technical information to the NSC when requested. The next step in the process is for the NSC technical team to finalise its report and submit it to the NSC Board for ratification. In late July, the NSC issued a favourable report for the extension of the validity of the Initial Authorisation ("NSC I"). NSC I was granted in September 2015, with a 5-year validity period. The next step is for the Ministry for Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge ("MITECO") to approve this authorisation and set its duration period. With regard to the Urbanism Licence ("UL"), the Ministry of Environment and Development of the Regional Government of Castilla y León informed the Municipality of Retortillo and the Company in March that the previously granted Authorisation of the Exceptional Land Use, a prerequisite for the award of the UL, remains fully valid and enforceable. This resolution allows the Municipality of Retortillo to advance the processing of the Company's UL application. The Company has met with the relevant officials of the Municipality of Retortillo during the quarter to ensure that they have all the required information to be able to award the UL.
