Just remember people did not go back to horses after a world war lasting years. Progress maybe slowed, but it won’t be halted.

HZM have plenty of cash and plenty of assets.

Not wishing to be ‘off’ but it is us oldies most at risk, there will be plenty of youngsters left to buy more EVs in Italy and elsewhere. Someone seems to have done well so far looking at Italy’s figures.

Apologies you seem to have a lot more as well, could have been worse.

Well with fulmar’s nugget on Sumitomo (timing right for Vermelho) and the fact that JM stepped down to a more junior role at Erris, that sounds to me like JM knows he is building a couple of mines.

Thanks Qualia.

He definitely mentioned Sumitomo as I remember looking them up and realising they were not a one trick pony.

Well it adds a bit more surmising to the mix.

Interesting little nugget of info you found there fulmar - Sumitomo wants to have its third HPAL plant operating in the mid 2020s without giving details .....

HZM CEO has quoted Sumitomo in the past as the sort of partner for they were looking for regards Vermelho.

Correction - ‘It all starts with batteries to drive growth.’

So to put it technically someone soon should twig they need the nickel to keep growing.
