Why wouldn’t you like a buyout ?? I do see both sides of arguments for the case , however if a company came along and said we will buy you out for $1.5-1.7billion I’d take it .

Today’s news for me is a major significance of why they added the 3rd drilling rig , all my research has pointed to SQM buying us out today’s news is the start of that journey , 12 months will be a huge transition for us . Watch this space

Extremely bullish ! Can see why SQM added the 3rd drilling rig in November now ;-))

Tin at $55,000k and we are producing at $28,000 . UIs mine has 100 years plus mine life making millions of dollars in profit and it’s only one part of this multi rich multi asset company .

Think it will be just the start , fingers crossed everything has fallen into place . Massive 12months here .

New interview is out ,

My take little snippet which pricked my ears and fits with my research and understanding of sorting the company out before a major takes you out was this

The comment regarding three assets would be suitable for one single company project !!

That concludes what I’ve been saying about SQM ! No bigger partner with deep pockets can take us over .

Good morning everyone happy Friday .

#Tin price: 54150 (+1,490, +2.83%)

The lithium and rally is perfect for our position with SQM

Might aswell repeat myself again ! We are primed for a takeover the market cap is far too cheap !! These prices are cheap . The penny will drop soon enough , once the PR starts kicking in , I’m already seeing more global articles on us the bigger fish will be buying , at the moment it’s the average Joe small cap audience .

Don’t know what you mean by that , they already know by the existing data what’s here , this isn’t exploration! This is all about proving how big the asset is .

Let’s see what the drilling results say shall we :-)

Potential SQM buyout within 12months once a maiden resource is done , they will see a

inferred resource

scale confirmation ( which they are doing now)

Tonnage of 40mt ( thats the target set already ) i personally see it hitting near 60mt

☑️Grades of 1.2-1.6% ( we already hit every hole on this)

We have the plant the setup the worforce etc. start joining the dots. Todays news was another great move getting the company in order and a extra bargaining chip.

also to add this will before a DFS as that locks in a valuation which they wont want to happen because of the higher price.

Finally !! Majors actually prefer their JV partners to

simplify portfolios

reduce distractions

better organized and M&A ready

todays news with BW deal helps that.

All drill holes intersected mineralisation representing the primary metals of interest!! 3000 meteres were drilled.

The lithium drilling at the moment is all about proving how big this asset is , this is NOT A exploration drill. SQM are fast tracking as we speak . Very much looking forward to those results very soon .

Well as the market digests the news , one the most important things I’m seeing currently is Tin prices above $52k and seems to be building a new base around $48-52k which is absolutely fantastic to see , the last 4/5 months have been great for tin and I have no doubt is making very good profit . Then we have lithium prices another super move and as we approach drilling results which are imminently this puts SQM and us on the map . So much is happening and it seems the market/investors are not cottoning in yet . This is a super mining cycle which happens very rarely , mining is everything !

Quite surprised it’s getting sold off here . Like I’ve says before I’m here for double digits and fair value .

That would be the article I was reading this morning . I said a while ago now a few times we are in a mining cycle , today’s news is brilliant .

Now we can look forward to more news .

GOOD MORNING ALL

I’m not being modest here ! But research pays ! I’ve been saying for sometime with a couple of others brandberg west won’t go unnoticed forever ! The asset especially tungsten is hot critical mineral! I was only reading this morning about how critical it’s getting especially with china starting to stockpile and they control 85% of the market .

Anthony Viljeon well done !!

Tricky - honestly please don’t take this the wrong way but your way off the mark . I’m going to say what I think here and let’s move on from it because all your doing it trying to nit pick and let’s be honest I find it boring and also misleading . your trying to say AV and his family and others got lucky !! Come on your sounding very silly with those comments these are experienced / professional individuals who know exactly what they were looking for when it comes to geology and minerals .

I’ve said my opinion and I’ll leave it there . Tricky try looking at the positives now , those who consistently moan etc why even bother bringing here invested in the first place . No malice or ill feelings intended .

Exactly that Trojan

People don’t realise how hard it is to finance a mine and develop it . I was listening to podcast recently on how hard the mining sector is and has been . It’s all about research and knowledge.

If anyone is annoyed with the company why are you still invested here ?? This is mining , everything doesn’t go to plan , economics change things happen out of people’s control . Yes it’s been frustrating and I do agree with the tin price helping the situation along with lithium but a mining cycle of this nature always happens . I honestly do think if your going to invest in a mining company , investors need to understand all the dynamics of the industry and those without the knowledge maybe investing somewhere else . Yes missed opportunities have occurred and I have been very critical of AV myself so I do understand the frustration.

Think some investors need to find something else to do rather than investing .
