From the same RNS.
“ The Company's 48.25% owned battery recycling group, Recyclus Group Limited, is carrying out commissioning at its first lithium-ion ("Li-ion") recycling plant in Wolverhampton and the CLNs will provide further support as the plant moves towards the commencement of commercial production which is targeted to be by the end of September 2023. In addition, Recyclus' first lead acid battery recycling plant at Tipton is expected to obtain permitting from the Environmental Agency shortly to enable production to commence at industrial scale. The Company continues its twin-track growth strategy to create a circular economy for battery metals with continued development of its battery metals exploration assets.”
Once full production starts there will (should) be 2 revenue streams from the lithium plant.
1. Gate fees.
8,0000 tonnes p.a. feedstock.
666.67 tonnes per month.
Quoted figures are Min - £1500/tonne. Max - £4500/tonne. Let’s assume £2500/tonne.
Revenue = £1,666,666 per month.
2 Black mass sales.
5000 tonnes p.a. expected from 8000 tonnes feedstock.
Quoted figures are £5000-£6000 tones.
5000 / 12 * £5000 = £2,083,333 per month revenue.
I am not saying the feedstock is available nor that the black-mass will be sold, but let’s assume that it will be, that equates to circa £3.7m per month in revenue.
Costs for plant cannot be huge as it’s already in ramp-up phase. Let’s say at an EXTREME case it’s £1m, jeez, look at all that lovely profit.
For those that can’t work it out, it could be in the region of £2.5-£2.7m per month.
(Allowing for the increased shares 2.5 bln once the recyclus deal completes, the mcap is approx £37m now.
Poss profit = £2.5m * 12 = £30m p.a.) I’m sure there are other expenses for mining assets etc and new plants, but this is gonna fly IMO.
If you dispute, please prove reasons why.
