The positives:
1. The licence has now been approved.
2. Initially its for a 12 year period.
3. Its renewable in 10 year blocks until all resources are mined.
4. Lithium is becoming one of the world's most sought after minerals - we are only just at the start of switching to electric for propulsion - the market is massive.
Now all of the above is great, but to really see this share fly, we either have to start mining and selling by ourselves, JV the project, sublicense production if that's allowable under the current head licence or, after proving reserves selling the whole lot. Personally I favour either of the first two options. Going alone will mean further capital raises, more than likely by placings and or traditional borrowings. The JV option is a goer, if the JV party can bring either serious expertise or finance to the project.
The practicalities are that we are a long way from production, but that is no different to most of the fledging AIM mineral companies. The company itself suggest 6 months to update the original feasibility study - in my opinion that's not unreasonable given that I suspect the BOD have been working on this whilst awaiting the licence confirmation. Part of this will involve working out how to finance the project - again, I suspect the BOD already have some idea.
Assuming that the metallurgical tests are ok, then this can only really go one way. Without knowing what the potential quantities are in the ground, its impossible to forecast where this could go. However, assuming that it is commercially viable to produce, and from my research of the company and the geographical area, I am fairly confident that this will go into production. The share price will continue to rise on expectation of the various next steps being completed - as each one is completed, then that price will be the fall back platform to move up once the next stage is completed.
Patience is the key here, if you want to make substantial long term gains. Day traders can nip in and out for a quick10% some days, but long term, I'm not a fan of that policy. If you think you have something of quality that the world markets will need, then keep topping up - that's exactly what I've been doing and will continue to do.
Good luck.
