The reason it’s not rocketing is because there is no Chinese money going in. It’s a relatively small Aussie producer that has taken a punt. They haven’t got that kind of money!
For me, the elephant in the room is after all that time and all that DD the Chinese chose not to invest. Why? Something didn’t add up for them. They’re smart cookies the Chinese. I wonder if their estimation of the capital costs and/or the payback were different to CMET’s?
It’s a blow to the credibility of the project that LB chose not to invest. But - even if they had - the dilution to CMET would’ve been massive. So it’s been a lose lose situation.
