edzi, like the rest of us, you have no idea how big the plant will be or how profitable. But I happen to know that JLP are looking to build a plant of the right size to make the project very profitable. A plant capable of processing say 10-15 tonnes per hour, producing Lead, Zinc, and Vanadium has the potential to produce multiple millions in profits per year, so the £2.3m (plus 30%) could easily be paid back within months.
You also state that JLP have rights over Enviro but that will not come into effect until they have invested the first £1m (phase 2 of the JV agreement). As it stands BMR only owes JLP £300k, and if BMR go bust, JLP will lose that along with the entire project. You might think JLP could then pick up the pieces cheaply, but good luck with that.
As for your no cash comment, yes we probably have very little at present, but our overheads are also very little. We have 3 private investors willing to invest up to a further £2.6m – if they are willing to do that, I reckon we could easily go to the market and raise enough cash for now, also see VIG’s comment regarding the sale of JLP shares. Perhaps do a little more research before making such bold claims.
