Addicknt. Thanks for the explanation.
I wouldn't support the sale of even 20% of CRL, because SML seems to be more or less in the orphan period and, uniquely, has the funding it needs to progress the project at the moment. I believe that the speed of the project is currently defined more by technical issues than finance.
Even if SML requires more funds to develop the mine, when they are ready to, there are cheaper ways of raising finance than selling off a huge chunk of CRL. Once the chunk has been sold, it has gone forever. It would be better if the cash were to be borrowed. A loan could be paid back more cheaply than it would cost to buy back 20% of CRL at future values.
