Tomorrowtoday - you've quoted me, but I don't remember saying those words, if I did please remind me and point to the exact post - I have called what I see as good potential value to be had here continuously for a long time for the reasons well known including:
a) TGR is possibly the lowest cost ACTUAL current producer of natural Graphite outside China
b) it likely has the lowest capital intensity per MT outside of China
c) it seems to be on the verge of its strongest financial performance to date if its target are met - there is yet to be an EBITDA positive/profitable graphite company on public markets outside of China. IF TGR achieves that status it may be the very first.
d) it is building a significant NON-CHINA/EX-CHINA supply chain serving growing markets. It's clear this is hard for a new entrant (just look at Nextsource's problems! 18 month, and potentially growing, delay from original timeframe) but the market share it appears to be establishing now already at significant capacities and economic feasibility during a downturn, in my opinion supports a thesis that it will be well placed for large upcoming demand driven by the energy transition.
Keep up the good work Andii and co. I have been invested here for a long time, anyone who reads the board here knows that. Just got to take the good with the bad and the vultures are still out there. While this remains a high Potential company, I feel that the work it has put in will be worth it. Fair enough being frustrated with the sp; almost all of us investors are underwater, but you have to provide context as well to justified criticism such as the missing of targets: 2022 cyclone disruption, bear market particularly hard on junior London shares, Mozambique acquisition delays, graphite price drops/poor recent industry sentiment, a major distressed shareholder liquidating in order to keep their own company afloat etc.
Focusing on the trend in the published results and you see where this goes if stated targets are met - and that is what may provide a major potential separator between TGR and the rest imo.
As always do your own research to see the differentiators compared to other graphite companies on TSX/ASX etc; all the above is just an opinion!
