RE: Red Cloud Summary : Biggest Lithium resource in Arizona19 Jan 2023 14:59
A few important points here:
1) Not all Lithium mines will produce battery grade LCE.
2) Not all lithium mines will come online and if they do, will be later than expected.
3) The spodumene price and USD strength has not been reflected in the current SP at all. When the investor community realise this is Hard Rock play with a viable economic deposit in the USA then the SP will rerate quickly.
4) Any PFS and DFS will reflect the lower OPEX and carbon footprint of the spodumene compared to Westerna Australia and African spodumene.
5) More likely to get funding from the US Government.
6) Brines, Oil Brines (Texas and Pensylvannia) and the Clay will likely be divested, including Basin IMO leaving BHL with just San Domingo.
10 bag is easy even, after dilution. I am critical of no JORC from the first round of quite sizeable drilling at San Domingo however.
