Another comparison here, I find them very useful when we compare ourselves directly with other 'start-up' mineral sands enterprises, this time with GROC (just listed). from their opening RNS:
"An extensive surface drilling campaign at Thule Black Sands in 2018 led to the declaration of a maiden Mineral Resource of 19Mt@ 43.6% Total Heavy Minerals, with an in-situ ilmenite grade of 8.9%. This is considered by the Company to provide a solid foundation for the advancement of the TBS Project, not least as a further drilling programme has been executed at Thule Black Sands this summer with the aim of materially increasing that Mineral Resource estimate."
It's just one of 4 projects they have. The CEO gave an interview this morning: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Y7NuL36iis
What I find interesting here, comparable to us:
1. They shipped off their drill samples to Brisbane from their summer drilling program, but because they're so far away they expect the whole process to take about 4 months;
2. They're not as advanced as us, not applied for EIA etc
3, The CEO compares them to BlueJay Mining (mcap about £110m) saying their mineral sands project isn't that far in advance of GROC's (mcap £9m) and basically he sees the ilmenite project alone to give GROC a comparable MCAP to BlueJay.
I'm not saying I agree with everything he says but it's interesting to note where they see themselves.
