Sharegar,
I can see this company taking off too, for a few reasons:
Firstly: Not only because the world needs to be greener in what it does, but in the way it works,
Secondly: As proven over time with for example Vale's Tailings dam failures, they are a drain and a potential liability on a companies balance sheet and need storing correctly and
Thirdly: As a small company we, have to do things more efficiently and extract value where we can.
There are competitors, such as SLP, but they are PGM focused and whilst that is great if the prices stay where they are, but if they drop, they will see a big drop in revenue.
I am one of the first to admit that LC & CB that have made mistakes in the past, in fact I have chastised them on multiple occasions for what I have thought are mis-steps, but by luck or chance, they have stumbled on to a winning combination. The fact that we are now one of the biggest producers of chrome concentrate IN THE WORLD, WITHOUT A MINE, bears testament to that winning combination. Yes, there have been tough times, but it appears that the timing of bringing all these projects online, couldn't have come at a better time too.
Personally I agree that, WE, as a company, are the actual market leaders in waste/tailings recycling and I feel that we will get bought out sooner rather than later, because this industry that we are building here has the potential to be one of the most disruptive efforts moving forwards for big mining companies.
As for Tjate, I am not ascribing it ANY value, because it WILL cost too much for us as a company to access it, but there may be others who want it and want to control their own PGM's, such as the Chinese who will take a punt on buying the entire company, especially if it paints them in a good light twofold by firstly becoming more environmentally aware and they have near unlimited funds to bring to Africa to make countries AND governments like them.
