EIA and bought out - Bidding war10 Dec 2021 17:35
IMO it is more than likely that when the EIA is approved and before take offs can be signed that one of the three will take over the mine, Rio as Sav already has links with them, as with GALP but Vulcan is signing agreements right left and centre. If no further resource increase, the mine is valued at $356million as of July 2021, into £ is £268mill. around 3.5 times our MCAP. Around 13p a share. Id suggest SAV is being watched.
175,000 tones per year at profit of around $400 a ton, increasing all the time is $ 70 million a year.
However how can a company that has aspirations to be the biggest EV manufacturer in the world, VW control the cost of their lithium batteries, by owning the largest mine in Europe. The cost per ton at Barrasso is around $275. If I have thought of this, sure they will have too.
Could we get a bidding war?
