Alex, I understand there are approx 160m shares traded globally on 3 stock markets. Namely, London AIM, Australian ASX & Frankfurt.
In the coming 1-2 weeks, it is proposed that EMH lists on the Czech stock market, to facilitate Czech citizens & investors to invest more easily in what will probably become a "larger company". I am not exactly clear how large the EMH/CEZ vertically integrated company will be, but my gut feeling is that it will be significantly larger that today's MCAP (£35m).
For reference, Jiangji Ganfeng is a $30bn+ lithium mine company, Tianqi is similar, Albermarle is ~ $10bn, SQM $4bn, Livent is $2bn. EMH is technically sitting on Lithium resources equivalent to, or in excess of the resources any of the above.
I cannot see the Czech government causing a major fuss over £4-5m, but government 50% ownership of a £1bn mine is not to be sniffed at, so I am hopeful there are major plans for the future here. Of course, all projects have an element of risk, but it was unusual for the NATO military top brass to personally "intervene" to ensure European lithium raw materials.
Today's equity release is trivial in the grand scheme of things. Aren't EMH sitting on £30m cash from a few months ago, with the initial agreement from CEZ?
