RE: What happened to lithium JV?4 Mar 2025 05:52
shareprice is in the 4's because fully diluted with the extra shares still pending to benissued to auo, the market cap is around Β£14m and we haven't made any meaningful revenue yet.
the jv for a lithium sulphate plant is at this stage just an agreement to sign a jv so more of a mou than anything conclusive. so many things could be going on there, we just don't know. (does jason want to be producing feldspar and revenue first to improve his negotiating hand before signing a jv?)
tomra already 6 months late being serviced after a 6 month depay in initial delivery - but they found beryllium and are wanting to sort out feldspar/tantalum and tungsten which is a different specification to the original spodumene only brief.
regarding blesberg missed may deliveries, it was not only jason who decided to stall with first deliveries, there are other stakeholders too who make these decisions, fujax and *****on plus the price of spodumene and price of containers/logistics which sky rocketed around that time so it's unfair to blame the ceo alone and call him incompetent for that. incompetent would have been ploughing ahead employing staff with only rados running at high opex with an outside chance of lithium spot prices falling further. doing that may have paralysed marula taking cash away from kilifi/kinusi/larisoro. as jason said on here in a post 24th january,
"the last time we did a general placement was in november 2022 and in february 2023 with qgc - so no heavily diluted share placements since to raise funding for our development activities."
no debts and no cash raises. shares have been issued to management for incentive purposes yes, but what good company doesn't do that? jason only took 500k shares (less than Β£25k, around 25% of his salary) and much less than what he has already bought on market over the last 6 months)
what is your revenue per month prediction for the summer hoof?
