RE: Price of vanadium22 Apr 2023 13:53
2 extra placings to build a plant, that, and an investor base that has lost confidence in the, behind the scenes, management to deliver the main project without, even further, substantial dilution which the plant was (ironically) built to avoid. Vanadium price is o.k. Not sure about doldrums, progress is still being made & we have been promised a favorable wind here, but operations which don't produce free cashflow and with needs of financing in the current rate environment are generally seen as un investable, or trading vehicles.
Seeing as we are in a global interest rate raising cycle which moves the cost of capital considerably higher, where risky ventures are less likely to get funding and a demand destructive recession is likely next (why commodity dependant nations are constricting supply), you have to ask yourself why you would invest in a pre-fesability company which wants to mine a commodity not in short supply and which is highly cyclical with economic booms and busts.
