It also offers relief on Resource Rental Tax and Withholding Tax for non-resident dividends and exemptions on duties related to capital goods. The agreement highlights the Government's commitment to local mining development, a key aspect of Malawi's economic vision, Malawi 2063. Additionally, Lotus reported a cash balance of AU$34.1 million (unaudited) as of June 30, 2024, excluding AU$15 million in restricted cash.
