RE: Non magnetic ore22 Jul 2021 15:17
Kings river deposit dwarfs everything else, often overlooked by those prompting their company on resource size… It’s pre production though and at his time their focus is alumina.
Either their current presentation or an older one has a good slide on it for showing vanadium comparisons, you’ll see their grade in concentrate is high too..
300k increasing to 600k after 2 years was in the original logistics report from 2019, 300k is I believe the limit for iron ore ops under TM and 300k is what crusader resources were granted for iron under TM way back in 2012. I’m obviously not going to be upset if we’re able to persuade regulators to let us monetize the non magnetic on top of, I just think it’s unlikely!!
Short term cash flow variable will undoubtedly be affected more by the price of iron and vanadium both of which are volatile at the moment, however even at conservative levels should cover general working expenses, costs of further exploration and development work and at these levels build up some cash reserves.
The additional exploration and development work we do using the cash from Trial mining will be main uplift in fair valuation. By looking at other companies in the sector we can get a feel for what that could be, but the work needs to be done to get there. Can’t just snap our fingers and be there yet, clear road though and matter of patience should pay. Sure if we’d had $50m in the bank few years ago pace of development would have been quicker, but then share prices would have been higher to!
