RE: Europe faces critical shortage of metals needed for clean energy27 Apr 2022 14:12
Afternoon.
I'm sure things will change once the game-changing DFS drops in the coming weeks - in the meantime if you're a buyer then you don't want the price to go up surely?
Hear you on the 2050 thing but the final multiple isn't the point of course other than to point out that supply would have to double from the current amount and that amount would need to be added every year for the next 25-30 years to meet demand.
Given that China has complete control over 90% of the Rare Earths supply and is moving faster than anyone else towards full green energy and no oil reliance then, clearly, you could have quite the desperate grab at anyone who has a good-looking Rare Earths project on the go outside of China, especially once all the numbers are laid out in a DFS cos that's when the bids/money can and will come in, not before. Moreover, nobody wants Rare Earths mines in their own backyard cos it's a dirty business.
Given the World right now, China could pull the plug anytime they like.
The SP will go up when the money guys want to sell - not before - drops are for buying ...
