One's tempted to wonder if these banks aren't trying to whack the market, which they missed, in order to get in cheap.

I've read that an 1100% increase in supply is required by 2021. Eleven fold in 3 years.

I can't agree with the headline implication of that article. They're forecasting an EV uptake of 9% by 2025, but (and I don't have the refeences to hand) my understanding is that uptake will exceed that considerably. And they go on to say that an uptake of just 3% more will soak up all supply and maintain the price at 12000 dollars/t. Anyway, they also say 'Even though the market for lithium is currently in deficit, this is expected to end by the beginning of next century'. What??

Ear, my point is that we don't have to, because we're not going to need to.

Earache. Surely this would only become relevant if the political tide turned against us and the Czech gov tried somehow to nationalise the operation or to prevent us proceeding, and every indication thus far suggests the opposite is true. So I don't see why you're asking this question.

VW are already in the CR. I know its easy to feel that things are out of control because of the ambiguous nature of the politics. But the law is less ambiguous, as are the simple practicalities involved. EMH, as far I am aware, always intended to process the Li ore in the CR. It's a cost though, so why would there be a problem partnering with someone else to do that? Private company or otherwise. The emerging results of the various govt assessments are clear. EMH will continue, and hopefully beneficial commercial relationships with CR companies will also emerge. As long as the DFS continues, time is not being wasted. When the DFS is complete towards the end of this year, the politics will have settled down and we'll be able to move on with offtake agreements for the processed ore. If that's with companies inside the CR, that's just easier.

'In the wilderness'? What are you smoking? We continue with the DFS, funded, as per normal. Now read Lennard's post below. Shorter. The EU, the CR and the European motor industry need this to happen, and so it will. I see your waffle about an RNS was just that. Why do you bother?

The fact that we have sells this morning must be some evidence of how few people read this board, otherwise they'd have picked up on that article. This is why we need a formal RNS that's able to reflect this govt approach. Perhaps it will come when we're awarded licenses for the last zone.

It's a right swamp. But at least the CSSD are gaining influence. I think that's right isn't it? I get confused with all these acronyms.

I think Suman's testimony was deemed invalid because of his own background in the communist secret police.

I didn't mean to be rude or to put you down. I merely meant that people read posts and take note of details, or latch onto details that serve their prejudices. Saying Babis has something to hang on to might be misinterpreted. That's all. And with all this political crap, you have to be a little careful of what you say. Good to see a new poster.

I didn't miss it at all. But you must be careful not make misleading statements that imply things are other than they are. He cannot hang on to what he does not have, and legally cannot acquire.

Babis can't 'hang on to cinovec' because he doesn't have it to begin with.

I suspect EMH see all this for what it is, but can't publicly say so. That is, they see it as all a lot of loud words by politicians maneuvering and trying to influence each other and the public, but underneath it all lie practical and legal factors that are immovable and set in stone. So all EMH are doing is quietly getting on with the job whilst the political storm runs its course. Once the storm has abated, things will be able to proceed more visibly.

This could be crunch time. I'm sure we'll be OK.

Earache, in a way your post is comforting. I too lost all in a divorce, albeit some years ago now, and have been aiming (no pun intended) to accumulate in order to buy my own home again. I too was buying at 80. I even lent my sons at uni 10k each to buy at that level in an isa, saying it would help them to pay off their loans. I even moved to Cyprus because of EMH, as overseas earnings are not taxed here, and I thought EMH earnings not taxed would ensure enough to buy that (modest) house. I still think our boat will come in. But you're right. Our timing was out, or has been screwed up by these damn politicians. Wish I didn't have so much tied up in EMH in the meantime though. It could be earning me something elsewhere while we wait. And I haven't the balls to sell at these levels. Anyway, news must be imminent, and we should see a degree of recovery - at least to 40 - when it does. My pain is also spread across a string of other companies similar to EMH, and all in the same boat. Although I can't figure out why for most of them.

Piltick, the system needs to be proven to run successfully as it would be run by a customer/user. That is the critical test. It can always be supplied with instructions on maximum power up/power down criteria. What's more fundamental is that it works as it needs to. The PR value of a proper, long term, full use test that's successful would be huge. And they don't even need it to be the 25tpd machine to prove the principle for now. But nothing.. despite having had the time. The market neds to be convinced this this thing works. What on earth are they doing every day?

They're not 'getting away' with anything. Nothing has happened. It's all just politicking. We still have the rights, and they can't be taken away, and work continues.
